Kyle LANGFORD - Great Britain & N.I. - 4th. in 800 meters at 2017 World Championships.

Kyle Langford battles his way to a top two finish in his semi final of the men's 800m,
at the 2017 World Championships. Brandon McBride won and the two automatically qualified.
In the final, two days later, Kyle so nearly won a medal with his late surge, just failing by five
hundreths of a second to beat Kipyegon Bett of Kenya. Even so he did run the fastest race of
his life. Kyle was the European Junior Champion in 2015 and won the bronze medal in 2013
at the World Youth Championships

2017 World Athletics Championship. London Olympic Stadium,
England.
