Noah Kibet, Abel Kipsang shine in Doha Diamond League
Kenya's Noah Kibet celebrates winning the men's 800m event during the World Athletics Diamond League Doha meeting at the Khalifa International stadium in the Qatar capital on May 13, 2022.
Kenyans had little to offer against Olympic 3,000m steeplechase champion Soufiane El Bakkali from Morocco, who won men’s 3,000m steeplechase in a world leading time of 8:09.66.
World Indoor 1,500m bronze medallist Abel Kipsang and World Under-20 800m silver medallist Noah Kibet on Friday claimed their maiden Diamond League victories in Doha.
Fresh from winning the men's 1,500m at the Kip Keino Classic, Kipsang, 25, clocked three minutes and 35.70 seconds to win the men's 1,500m, relegating 2020 Tokyo Olympics 1,500m silver medallist Timothy Cheruiyot to second place.
