Wilfred unleashed a phenominal kick. He ran last quarter somewhere around 51.3 seconds! Congratulations to Wilfred and all of the runners! Thank you!

What's insane is that last place in the 2012 Olympic final would have WON this one. No disrespect to the runners here but it shows how fast that 2012 race was 👀

Kenya's Normal Routine was resumed. Ask Rudisha, he will tell you.

Alfred Kirwa Yego cruised to the Bronze medal like a motorbike.

Good job Wilfred Bungei, Ismail Ahmed Ismail and Alfred Kirwa Yego. Was nice meeting Alfred Yego in Eldoret, humble guy.

This was Bungei's last race on a Kenyan T-shirt. He bowed out as a Champion .
