Olympic javelin silver medallist Julius Yego was among top guns who fell by way side at the Commonwealth Games yesterday.

In 2014, Yego became the first Kenyan to win a javelin title at the Commonwealth Games but he has been on a downward trend since finishing 13th at the IAAF World Athletics Championships in London last year — and losing the title to Johannes Vetter.
