of the 3000m Steeplechase at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka. He
won the silver medal behind his compatriot Brimin Kipruto, and can be

Mateelong finished in third place to complete a Kenyan clean sweep of
the medals. It was the third World Championships in succession that
Kemboi had won the silver medal, and in between times he had struck gold
on the biggest stage of all, the Olympic Games. |
