Kenya missed out the opportunity to retain the 5,000m title at the ongoing world under 20 Athletics championships in Cali, Colombia.
Samuel Kibathi and Nelson Mandela finished sixth and eighth respectively in the final to fail to retain the title last won by Benson Kiplangat in kasarani.
Kibathi fell in the last few metres coming timing 14:07.82 as Ethiopia’s Addisu Yihune won gold in 14:03.05 ahead of Eritrea’s Merhawi Mebrahtu (14:03.33) and Samuel Habtom settled for bronze in 14:03.67.
