World 5,000m silver medalist Jacob Krop gave Kenyans a night to remember at the Memorial Van Damme, the second last meeting of the Diamond League in Brussels, Belgium, on Friday night.

It was, however, a bad night for Olympic and world 800m champion Emmanuel Korir, who bowed to Britain's world 1500m champion Jake Wightman, in 800m. Korir finished third.
