The team of Jared Momanyi, Maureen Thomas, Hellen Syombua and Aaron Koech finished third in 3:19.43<\/p>\n<p>Jared Momanyi started Kenya off with a solid leg, handing off to Maureen Thomas who kept Kenya in contention and in sixth place. Hellen Syombua then took over and ran a storming third leg despite being impeded by a Brazilian competitor. She took Kenya from sixth place to 3rd place and had to dig deep over her last fifty metres to maintain Kenya&#8217;s position. Aaron Koech then took over and solidified Kenya&#8217;s position, increasing the distance between himself and the other contenders for the bronze.<\/p>\n<p>It was an impressive performance as Kenya beat out other traditional relay giants like Poland, Germany and Italy. It is the first time that Kenya has won a medal in a global relay event since 1993 when the Kenya 4 X 400m quartet of Samson Kitur, Simon Kemboi, Abednego Matilu and Kennedy Ochieng won the silver medal at the world championships.<\/p>\n<h3>Race Video<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DghrE7cHfZw\" frameborder=\"0\"
