Stanley Mburu Wins Kenya’s Third Medal at World Championships As Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei Storms to Victory

• Kenya won Silver in the 10,000 metres races after Stanley Mburu crossed the line second to win his first major global medal
• Mburu finished behind Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei, who successfully defended his title with a clinical finish at the end of a highly tactical race
• Mburu now joins Hellen Obiri and Margaret Kipkemboi as the other Kenyans to have medals at this year's championships

Stanley Waithaka Mburu bagged Silver in the 10,000 metres races to record Kenya's third medal at the World Athletics Championships.

Mburu etched his name in the books of the Championships history despite taking an early tumble to add to the bronze medal he won at the U-18 Championships in 2017.

The race was won by the reigning World champion and record holder Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei, with his compatriot Jacob Kiplimo taking the bronze.

Denmark kept alive their hopes of reaching the Euro 2022 quarter-finals as Pernille Harder's late goal sealed a 1-0 win against Finland on Tuesday.

The field was star-studded, with current Olympic champion Ethiopian Selemon Barega also in the mix. The race was marked by intense pace from the onset, with many insinuating that Cheptegei's record of 26:11.00 could be broken.

However, Cheptegei used 27:27.90 to win Uganda's first medal at the championships. Mburu finished second with a time of 27:27.90, beating Kiplimo by a few microseconds in a very enthralling finish.

American Grant Fisher finished fourth, with Selemon Barega finishing fifth.

Usain Bolt takes time to remind the world that his record is yet to be broken

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Usain Bolt had taken to his Twitter account to remind the world that he is still the greatest sprinter the world has ever seen.

A USA Track and Field Magazine FloTrack had pipped Fred Kerley to break Usain Bolt's long-standing record in the 100 metres races.

Kerley is part of the new generation of sprinters that have taken over since Bolt left the scene. Kerley stormed to victory in the finals of the World Athletics Championships in Oregon with a time of 9.86 seconds.
