After 41 years of dominance in men’s steeplechase at the Olympics, Kenya relinquished its grip on the race after Morocco’s Soufiane El Bakkali won the title in the Tokyo Games yesterday.
Kenya’s Benjamin Kigen won bronze. For the first time in the last nine Olympic Games, the Kenyan national anthem wasn’t played at the end of the race hitherto referred to as Kenya’s forte.
To many though it was not shocking considering that Olympic champion Conseslus Kipruto missed the cut at the national trials and didn’t make the team to Japan.
