Ezekiel Kemboi wins fourth successive steeplechase title in Beijing

Ezekiel Kemboi wins a fourth successive 3,000m steeplechase title at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing.

Ezekiel Kemboi continued his dominance in the 3,000m steeplechase at the World Athletics Championships by claiming a fourth successive title in Beijing.

In a perfectly timed assault from the Kenyan, he stormed past his rivals in the final 200m to win comfortably in a time of 8:11.28 inside the Bird's Nest Stadium.

Kemboi's sprint finish was too much for the field to handle, and a Kenyan top three was confirmed as Conseslus Kipruto and Brimin Kiprop Kipruto picked up silver and bronze, respectively.

American Evan Jager had taken the lead at the start of the final lap, but he was unable to hold off the Kenyans as Jairus Kipchoge Birech and Daniel Huling finished ahead of him.
