Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo clinched 5000m gold in extraordinary fashion at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Kiplimo who earlier won 10,000m gold, injected a last kick to go past Kenya’s Nicholas Kimei and Jacob Krop on home straight.
He wins Uganda’s third gold after clocking 13:08:08 before receiving a standing ovation from a fully packed Alexander Stadium.
Kiplimo replicates past performances of Joshua Cheptegei (2018 Gold Coast) and Moses Kipsiro (2010 Delhi) to have won 5000m and 10,000m gold at the same games.
