“But there is still hope of improvement for me to make the B category of the athletics World Championship. From the group B, one can make good points to move to group A. That group A category is achievable, and I’ve set that assignment for myself”, Vivian Chukwuemeka said.The US based thrower is however praying to be on the list of the Berlin World Championship- bound athletes.
