Kenyans salute Yego for javelin Africa record

As the dust settles on the drama of Commonwealth Games javelin champion Julius Yego’s throw at the Birmingham Grand Prix, focus has now turned to how far the African record holder will go this season.

As Yego responded to World champion Vitezslav Vesely’s sixth round effort of 88.18m by launching the javelin out to 91.39, many were dejected after it was ruled out.
