Kiplagat commands the heights – Amman 2009

- Just as Linet Masai was perhaps savouring the prospect of being the woman to break a 15-year drought of Kenyan wins in the long-race at the World Cross Country championships, her teammate Florence Kiplagat burst past her on the grueling final hill to take the championships gold medal.</p>

Abshero reaches the top step of the podium this time - Amman 2009

Amman, Jordan – Digging deep into his reserves up the final climb towards the finish, Ethiopia’s Ayele Abshero wasn’t going to settle for a second successive silver medal at the 37th IAAF World Cross Country Championships at the Bisharat Golf Club here today. And Abshero’s strength duly saw him go one better than he had in Edinburgh last year as he took the gold from Titus Mbishei (Kenya) and Moses Kibet (Uganda).
