KAMPALA， Nov. 9 (Xinhua) -- Although feeling the financial pinch， Uganda is determined to put up a good show when it hosts the 2017 IAAF World Cross Country Championship.
Preparations are in high gear， according to organizers， as the event comes to the east African region for the second time after Kenya hosted in in 2007.
Dominic Otuchet， president of the Uganda Athletics Federation said Wednesday that the event that will attract over 800 athletes in senior and junior categories will cost the country over two million U.S. dollars
"We are going to make sure all the hotels for the athletes and officials together with the running course and issues of security are all handled perfectly，" Otuchet said.
Charles Bakkabulindi， minister of state for sports said， "We are aware that a lot of money is still needed， but we shall work hand in hand with other supporters to make sure all moves on smoothly."
Road works and renovations of hotels in the city have already started ahead of the March 26 event.
The country's star athletes have already entered their training camp. Stephen Kiprotich， the 2012 Olympic marathon gold medal winner is one of the key athletes that Uganda is banking on to win medals.
Kiprotich， who finished a distant 16th at the 2016 Rio Olympics， has never run in a Cross Country event.
"We are confident the team we have named is good enough and will be trimmed after trials，" Otuchet said on Wednesday.
Head coach Benjamin Longiross said he wants to show the world that it also has some of the best athletes.
Each of the participating countries is expected to field six runners per event. The Championship will feature the men and women's senior's event and the junior boys and girls events.
Joshua Cheptegai who captained Uganda at the Rio Olympics together with Philip Kipyeko and women runners Stella Chesang and Juliet Chekwel are part of Uganda's team that is training.
A spy whose naked Cheap Nike Air Max Plus Sale , decomposing body was found inside a padlocked gym bag at his apartment likely died in an accident with no one else involved, British police said Wednesday — a tentative conclusion that is unlikely to calm conspiracy theories around the bizarre case.
Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Martin Hewitt said the death of Gareth Williams, whose remains were found inside a bag in his bathtub in August 2010 Cheap Nike Air Max Plus , was "most probably" an accident.
But he conceded that the facts could not be established beyond a reasonable doubt, and Williams' family members said they still believe he was killed.
The police verdict also disagrees with a coroner's inquest, which concluded last year that Williams had probably been killed by another person in a "criminally meditated act."
Hewitt told reporters at Scotland Yard headquarters that a police review had found little evidence of foul play in a death that has spawned a host of theories Cheap Men's Nike Air VaporMax 97 Japan Black , from assassination to sexual adventure gone awry.
Williams, a cyberwarfare expert, worked for Britain's GCHQ eavesdropping service and was attached to the overseas espionage agency MI6 when he died.
Hewitt said the police position "is that Cheap Men's Nike Air VaporMax 97 Metallic Gold , on balance, it is a more probable conclusion that there was no other person present when Gareth died."
?"But the reality is that for both hypotheses, there exist evidential contradictions and gaps in our understanding."
Some have raised the possibility that Williams locked himself in the bag as part of a sex game gone wrong. Investigators found that he had visited bondage and sadomasochism websites Cheap Nike Air VaporMax 97 Silver Bullet , including some related to claustrophilia — a desire for confinement in enclosed spaces.
Police concluded that it could have been possible for Williams to climb inside the sports bag and lock it. However, none of Williams' DNA was found on the lock on the bag and his palm prints were not found on the rim of the bath.
Coroner Fiona Wilcox last year was critical in her inquest verdict of MI6, which failed to pass evidence to investigating police. And she said that while it appeared unlikely that British intelligence agencies were involved in Williams' death Cheap Off-White x Nike Air Vapormax Black , it was a "legitimate line of inquiry."
Hewitt said there was no evidence that the apartment had been cleaned to remove forensic traces and nothing to suggest a struggle or a break-in.
And he dismissed the idea that Britain's secretive intelligence services had carried out a cover-up.
"I do not believe that I have had the wool pulled over my eyes," he said. "I believe that what we are dealing with is a tragic unexplained death."
He said there was "no evidence to support the theory that Gareth's death was in any way related to his work."
Williams' relatives said in a statement that they were disappointed that the facts were still not clear, but still believed it was likely he had been the victim of foul play.
"We consider that on the basis of the facts known at present the coroner's verdict accurately reflects the circumstances of Gareth's death Cheap Off-White x Nike Air Vapormax White ," the statement said.
