World Champion Timothy Cheruiyot settled for silver after coming second in the 1500 meters final at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo Japan on Saturday.
Cheruiyot lost a last 100 meters sprint with Norwegian Jakob Ingebristen clinching a gold medal and breaking a previous record set by Kenya's Abel Kipsang in the semi-finals on Thursday.
Kipsang had run 3:31:65 to win his semi-final but finished four in today's fina behind Great Britain's Kerr Josh who timed a personal best of 3:29:05
So far Kenya has bagged nine medals in Tokyo Olympic Games.
