Timetronics and a team headed by Sports Kenya has been busy this week laying kilometres of cable and all kinds of gadgets be used on Saturday.
In an exclusive interview with Nation Sport, Timetronics managing director Kim Peeters from Belgium said that the timing system, shipped in especially for the meet, has to be perfect.
He said that the event is a high level one in Africa and has to be run to the highest world standards possible.
“I have been in the country since Monday and we have to set up the machines to be used on Saturday early enough for us to get accurate results. The system has to work well. We have been doing test runs to make sure no race is affected due to a hitch on our side,” said Peeters.
He said he was working with a team of 12 who are in charge of timing, data graphics for television and action videos.
Peeters said that they have to set up in every position to cover the whole stadium.
