SYDNEY (Reuters) - The world cross country championships return after a gap of four years on Saturday in the unlikely location of a motor racing circuit in country Australia, but African domination looks likely to continue unchecked in the Bathurst heat.
The COVID-19 pandemic forced a two-year delay to the biennial championships, giving Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei a longer than usual wait to defend the men's title he won over 10 kilometres in Aarhus, Denmark back in March 2019.
