KAMPALA澳门六合彩资料图, Sept. 13 (Xinhua) -- The body of Ugandan Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei who died after allegedly being set on fire by her ex-partner in neighbouring Kenya arrived in her rural hometown in eastern Uganda on Friday afternoon, a district official said.

The casket containing the remains of Cheptegei wrapped in Ugandan flag colors of black, yellow and red was received by family members, Uganda athletics federation and government officials at the Kenya - Uganda border town of Suam in a sombre mood, Gertrude Chemitai, Bukwo district information officer, told Xinhua by telephone.

She said Cheptegei's body was driven around Bukwo town for the local people and population to celebrate her life.

According to reports, she was attacked by her former boyfriend in the Kenyan town of Trans Nzoia.

"The mood is very sad and grieving. The whole area is full of tears of the lost athlete," said Chemitai.

Chemitai said Cheptegei will be laid to rest on Saturday at her ancestral village in Kapsiywo, Bukwo sub-county.

最近，李金羽不仅担任球队主教练，还兼任俱乐部总经理，这无疑使他的责任与压力加重。在采访中，他指出，虽然需要在球队的建设及俱乐部管理上付出努力，但他认为提升一线队的竞技成绩仍然是最重要的任务。此外，李金羽还表示，新赛季俱乐部将重点改善观众的观赛体验、进行球场改造以及升级训练基地等方面的工作，以期更好地服务于球迷与球队。

两队的战绩在伯仲之间，排名分别是东部第六、第七，谁获胜谁就能排在第六位，这场比赛的意义不言而喻，两队目前都是两连胜，状态都还不错，虽然热火队的巴特勒缺阵，但是他缺阵的这两场热火都赢了，看来没有巴特勒热火打的也不错。

"Tomorrow [Saturday] she will be taken to the district council hall for the councillors to pay last respect. Afterwards the body will be taken to Ananang playground for the funeral programme. She will then be taken to her final resting place at Kapsiywoo village for burial," said Chemitai.

Cheptegei, 33, competed in the marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics, finishing 44th. She is also remembered for winning gold at the 2022 World Mountain and Trail Running Championships in Chiang Mai澳门六合彩资料图, Thailand.  ■
