Running close behind the pacesetters through the first two laps, Kiprop led at the bell by a step over compatriot Nixon Chepseba, one he extended over the backstretch, through the turn and down the straight seemingly shrouded by a shield of invincibility.
Chepseba, who is also London-bound, clocked a personal best 3:29.77 for second while New Zealander Nick Willis closed strongly to take third in 3:30.35.
