Four finals were decided on the first day of track and field at the African Games at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Monday (26) with Kenya winning two of those as Benjamin Kigen and Lilian Kasait Rengeruk won the men’s 3000m steeplechase and women’s 5000m respectively.

Midway through the final lap of the men’s 3000m steeplechase at Saturday’s Prefontaine Classic, the third meeting of the IAAF Diamond League, a common thought rippled through the 12,000-strong crowd at Hayward Field: who?

Caster Semenya produced another peerless display of middle-distance running to set a meeting record and world lead of 1:55.92 in the women’s 800m at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene on Saturday (26), the highlight of the midde-distance action at the third meeting of the IAAF Diamond League.
