Kenya missed out to finish in the men’s 4x 100m relay at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England.
It was a mix up in the baton change where team Kenya had been tipped to do well in the event following the exploits of Commonwealth games 100m champion Ferdinand Omanyala who was anchoring the team as well as breaking the national record in the semifinal.
However, a baton exchange mix up between Dan Kiviasi and Samuel Imeta put an end to any hopes of a medal after Kiviasi had crossed the exchange zone.
Mike Mokamba who was to ran the third leg and Omanyala were mere spectators as Odie Edoburun anchored England to victory in 38.35 seconds with Trinidad and Tobago and Nigeria going for silver and bronze in 38.70 sec and 38.81 respectively.
