17-year-old Ugandan long-distance runner Jacob Kiplimo yesterday won silver in the 10,000m race in the ongoing IAAF World Junior Championship happening in Tampere, Finland.

Kiplimo reached the final with the gold-winning tag in his favour, but he only managed to settle for a second place as Kenya’s Rhonex Kipruto snatched his gold win in the last lap after posting 27:21.08.

Our own Kiplimo was just 19 seconds behind Kipruto despite leading the pack right from the start.
