Kipketer continues to blow the opposition away

A THRILLING finish last night saw Commonwealth 5,000 metres champion Sammy Kipketer step up in distance and win over 10,000m in the Ivo Van Damme Golden League meeting in Brussels.

Kipketer, 20, produced the quickest time of the year and a personal best by a large margin winning in 26 minutes 49.38 seconds.

Kipketer whose time moved him into fifth position on the world all-time list held off Assefa Mezegebu and Richard Limo in a race where personal bests fell like ninepins.
