Kurui adds to Qatar's tally on Men's 5,000m

James Kwalia Kurui produced a superb final burst to clinch Qatar's third gold in athletics, when he outsprinted his rivals to win the 5,000m.

Kurui burst ahead of Bahrain's Mucheru Salem Jawher and Qatar's Sultan Khamis Zaman at the final bell and stayed clear with a blistering 53-second lap.

The 19 year-old, who celebrates his birthday on Thursday 14 December, won in a time of 13:38.90mins, with Jawher taking silver in 13:41.10 and Zaman four seconds further back.

The trio had led unchallenged from the halfway point with Kazuhiro Maeda of Japan coming home in fourth place in 13:56.16mins.

"I wanted to win and make the Qatari people happy because my teammate [Saif Saeed Shaheen] was not competing," said Kurui. "I thought Jawher would give me a hard time. I will run for Qatar until the end of my career."

Jawher said: "The silver medal is ok because I have been suffering from a knee injury for the last two years and now I have recovered."
