“I’ll be in the country much more earlier to see that machinery are put on ground to motivate the athletes when they touch ground”, Igali said.

On the preparations towards the 2018 Commonwealth Games, he said athletes will be given less than three weeks break before full scale training resumes.

“This is the beginning of another race because the 2018 Commonwealth Games is around the corner and we have to up our games if we want to excel”, he said.
