George Manangoi, the new IAAF World Under-20 champion, has dedicated the gold medal to his late sister Bena who died two weeks ago as he prepared for the IAAF World Under-20 Championships in Tampere, Finland.
Manangoi toyed around with his challengers in the race that started with a slow pace before Ethiopia's Samuel Tefere shot to the front. Manangoi remained tucked behind before producing a scintillating sprint to win in 3:41.7.
