Ezekiel Kemboi - Looks set to win
Ezekiel Kemboi looks likely to win in the 3000m steeplechase for men with fellow country mate Richard Kipkemboi Mateelong also qualifying in the heats. From South Africa, Ruben Ramolefi was just a second behind Ezekiel Kemboi. The race looks exciting and a surprise may be possible where all qualifiers look set to go for it for a win.
