Nineteen year old Rhonex Kipruto crosses the finish line
to win the 10,000 metres bronze medal with a very broad smile.
He possibly thought he had just ran a PB. He almost did, missing out by 1.6
of a second on his 26:50.16 set in May in Stockholm.
He was the World U20 10,000m champion in 2018
2019 World Athletics Championships. Doha, Qatar.
Final men's 10,000 metres.
