Kamworor triumphs
Print Edition
GEOFFREY Kamworor fell on the starting line of the world half marathon championships in Cardiff, Wales, but got back up to successfully defend his title in record time on Saturday, with Mo Farah coming third.
Kamworor, beaten by Farah in the 10,000 at the worlds in Beijing last year, set a championship record of 59 minutes, 10 seconds, despite bruised and bloodied knees. Double Olympic champion Farah called the race “part of my journey to Rio”, where the Briton will defend his 5,000 and 10,000 titles. The Kenyan duo of Kamworor and Bedan Karoki set a very quick pace which saw them pull clear of Farah, whose trademark sprint finish in torrential rain earned him bronze in 59:59, the fastest by a European this year. Karoki clocked 59:36 in second.
