Just when fans thought there was going to be a shortage of world beating steeplechasers, a new one has emerged in Benjamin Kigen. Meanwhile Emannuel Korir proved that he is still the man to beat in the 800m, winning a very close race against Nijel Amos of Botswana. Timothy Cheruiyot was peerless in the mile, finishing well ahead of all comers.<\/p>\n<h2>Emmanuel Korir survives near fall to edge Amos in the 800m<\/h2>\n<p>With 200m to go, Emmanuel Korir got his legs tangled with Nijel Amos, he tripped and almost fell. In the process he dropped into fourth place and Amos established what looked like an unassailable lead. But Korir came back from several metres behind to beat Amos in the last 30 metres. Korir is now the man to beat in the 800m this season.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone \" src=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/athletics\/images\/korir-amos-eugene-18.jpg\" width=\"525\" height=\"788\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Race Video<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M7QUPk_oD64\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/h3>\n<h3>Race Results<\/h3>\n<table class=\"records-table clickable\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th width=\"8%\">POS<\/th>\n<th width=\"40%\">ATHLETE<\/th>\n<th width=\"10%\">COUNTRY<\/th>\n<th width=\"10%\">MARK<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>1<\/td>\n<td>Emmanuel Kipkurui <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Korir<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0KEN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">1:45.16<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<td>Nijel <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Amos<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0BOT<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">1:45.51<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>Wyclife <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Kinyamal<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0KEN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">1:46.14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>Kipyegon <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Bett<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0KEN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">1:46.46<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>5<\/td>\n<td>Kyle <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Langford<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0GBR<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">1:46.53<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6<\/td>\n<td>Adam <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Kszczot<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0POL<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">1:46.64<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>Ferguson Cheruiyot <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Rotich<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0KEN<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">1:46.90<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>Erik <span class=\"name-uppercase\">Sowinski<\/span><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0USA<\/td>\n<td class=\"resultmark\">1:46.91<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Timothy Cheruiyot easily wins the Mile<\/h2>\n<p>It was a case of solid tactics by Timothy Cheruiyot.
