Kipruto thinks WR
MONACO (MON): World and Olympic 3000m steeplechase champion Conseslus Kipruto is to attack the world record of 7:53.63 in the Monaco Diamond League on 20 July, informs AFP. "This year has been so good for me. It's every athlete's dream to stay injury-free and God has been good to me. I have four more weeks to prepare for the world record attempt in Monaco. It will be great to bring the 3000m steeplechase record back to Kenya," he said. The world record has stood to Saif Saaeed Shaheen since 2004.

В шестой раз на Играх Содружества кенийцы заняли все места на пьедестале почета в своей коронной дисциплине бегу на 3000 м с/п. Но на этот раз едва не случилась сенсация. Канадец Матт Хьюз @hughesteeple бросил вызов фаворитам. Но все-таки на последнем водном препятствии олимпийский чемпион и чемпион мира Консеслус Кипруто @consesluskip и Абрахам Кибивотт стали уходить вперед. Однако третья позиция, казалось, достаточно уверенная. Но третий кениец Амос Кируи, несмотря на отчаянные попытки уставшего канадца удержать бронзовую позицию, лишил его на последнем метре этой возможности. Кипруто - рекорд Игр 8.10,08, Кибивотт -8.10,62, Кируи - 8.12,24. Хьюз - 8.12,33, близко к личному рекорду 8.11,64, показанному на чемпионате мира в Москве в 2013 году, где он занял шестое место. #consesluskipruto #стипльчез #steeplechase #commonwealthgames
