Jepkosgei's gun-to-tape display of brilliance
The elegant Kenyan tore a page from the Filbert Bayi manual of Front-Running, photocopied it, crumpled the pages into a ball, and bounced them off the heads of her opponents.
They didn’t have time to peruse the script, they were just trying to keep up. Multiple World
champion, Maria Mutola of Mozambique stepped off the track, beaten with 80m to run.
Kipruto leads Kenyan Steeplechase sweep, first since 1997
The Kenyan trio gave their opponents plenty of opportunity to lead, and even threaten to win. But when it came to the last 300 metres, they were the only men in it.
Brimin Kipruto reversed the result of the 2004 Olympic Games, when he tore past Athens champion, Ezekiel Kemboi to win gold and relegated Kemboi to silver. Richard Mateelong, world number three last year, cemented that position with bronze.
