South Africa pulled a fast one on Kenya, sneaking away with men’s 10,000m crown at the 20th Africa Senior Athletics Championships at King’s Park Stadium in Durban, South Africa, on Wednesday night.
Homeboy Stephen Mokoka gave the hosts a night to remember when he narrowly beat Wilfred Kimitei in the final stretch to win in 28:03.0, way below the world record mark of 26:17.5 set by Ethiopia’s Kenenisa Bekele in 2005.
