KENYA BREAK GOLDEN DUCK

Benjamin Limo won Kenya's first and only gold medal of the World Championships in the men's 5,000m.

The once-dominant nation of distance running had been forced to wait until the final day of the championships to strike gold, but Limo finally delivered.

He won a slow-run race in a sprint finish which played into his hands, crossing the line in 13mins 32.55secs.

He overtook Sileshi Sihine in the home straight which meant the Ethiopian had to settle for another silver medal. He had also finished second in the 10,000m earlier in the week.

Australian Craig Mottram edged out another Kenyan, Eliud Kipchoge, by just eight-hundreths of a second to take the bronze medal.
