Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo has won his second track race in just 9 days.
Kiplimo wons the 3000m in a national record time of 7:26.64 at the Rome Diamond League in Italy.
Last Tuesday, Jacob Kiplimo impressively beat Ethiopian World Championship silver medalist Selemon Barega to win 5000m of IAAF Golden Spike 2020 Athletics meeting in Ostrava.
The 19-year-old Ugandan long-distance runner fought off Barega in a fierce home straight brawl to take the win in 12:48.63, one of seven meeting records to fall on a clear night in the eastern Czech city where 3,000 spectators were allowed entry to Mestsky Stadium to help celebrate the meeting’s 59th edition.
