Athletics: Kenya's Hyvin Kiyeng Jepkemoi wins 3000m steeplechase gold


Hyvin Kiyeng Jepkemoi of Kenya won a three-way sprint to the line to take the gold medal in the 3,000-meter steeplechase ahead of Habiba Ghibri of Tunesia and Gesa Krause of Germany.

Over a tight last lap, Ghribi stumbled ahead of one barrier and once the last water pit was passed, the finishing kick made the difference with Jepkemoi coming from behind to win in 9 minutes, 19.11 seconds. Ghribi got silver, .13 seconds behind, and beat Krause by .01.
