Conseslus Kipruto of Kenya clears the water jump in the men’s 3,000m steeplechase
Men's 3,000m Steeplechase || Commonwealth Games day nine
Gold: Conselsus Kipruto (Kenya) 8min 10.07sec
Silver: Abraham Kibiwott (Kenya)
Bronze: Amos Kirui (Kenya)
Conseslus Kipruto wins the gold from his compatriot Abraham Kibiwott. Their fellow Kenyan Amos Kirui was third in a splendid race for bronze. It looked as if Matthew Hughes was going to come third and prevent a Kenyan one-two-three, but despite throwing himself at the line and coming within a half-second of his personal best time, he was just collared by Kirui. That’s Kenya’s sixth consecutive clean sweep in this event at the Commonwealth Games. You could tell it meant a lot to them, as Kipruto sacrificed his own time to turn and urge his fellow countrymen along in the home straight.
Canada’s Matthew Hughes is upsides them and the Kenyans don’t like it one bit
