Former champion Kemboi bids farewell to steeplechase

LONDON - Kenya's fourtime world champion Ezekiel Kemboi said Tuesday's final that saw him finish 11th would be his last outing in the 3,000m steeplechase.

Although he has previously backtracked on declarations to quit the event that he has dominated for more than a decade, Kemboi, 35, said he means it this time.

"This was my last steeplechase race. You will never see me run the race again," said the man who had won the previous four world titles and finished second in the three before that.
