World, Africa and Olympic champion Conseslus Kipruto made sure status quo remained in the men’s 3000 metres steeplechase, successfully retaining Gold for Kenya after crossing the finish line at 8:01:35 at the IAAF World Athletics Championships, Doha, Qatar.
Kipruto should thank the gods, however, for he finished just 0.01 seconds ahead of 19-year-old Ethiopian rising-star Lamercha Germa.
