Kenya has finally bagged her first gold medal at the Olympic Games in Tokyo Japan, Emmanuel Korir beating compatriot Ferguson Rotich to win the 800m men’s race in a Kenyan one-two finish.
Korir takes over the country’s gold mantle in the race from world record-holder over the distance – David Rudisha, who dominated the race in 2012 in London and 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.
Korir clocked 1:45.06 with Rotich bagging silver in a time of 1:45.23 while Kenya’s nemesis Nigel Amos of Botswana finished a distant eighth after stopping his clock at 1:46.41.
Korir took up the challenge at the bell and showed he was fit to wear Rudisha’s crown as he struck gold in 1:45.06 with Rotich clocking 1:45.23 for the silver.
