QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Being the world champion, being from Kenya, it is unbelievable for me. It is a nice prize for me, because I've really been working hard to win this championship. Remember, in Moscow, I almost won a bronze medal, but the last throw from Tarabin didn't let me win it. But this time I came out strong. After throwing 92, I feel some pain in my foot, so I needed to take it easy. I played it safe. I knew nobody else was going to throw further than that," Julius Yego after winning first technical event medal for Kenya at World Championships and straight a gold.
RESULT OF THE DAY
Julius Yego 92.72 in javelin the 8th best ever performance, 3rd best ever performer, best result since 2001 in 14 years.
