It was an astonishing finish to the men’s 10,000m final of the commonwealth games 2014 after Moses Kipsiro defended his Gold medal. The Ugandan team won a total of four medals.
How Moses Kipsiro made it:
For most of the last lap, it looked like Cameron Levins of Canada was going to pull off the mother of all surprise victories.
He held off surges from both Josphat Kipkoech Bett of Kenya and the defending champion, Moses Kipsiro of Uganda.
Levins held his lead most of the way down the closing stretch, but Bett pipped him just before the line on the outside.
Only problem for Bett was, Kipsiro was bombing along on the inside, and first overcame Levins and then, with milliseconds to spare, Bett! He made it to the tape 0.03 seconds ahead of Bett, to claim another gold! What a race! What a run!
And perhaps most wonderfully, Levins is still grinning from ear to ear, despite coming so close to golden glory. He’d have taken bronze before the race, I suppose.
Maybe not one for the purists, but what an excitement for the Ugandan hero, Moses Kipsiro.
