Kenyans once again failed to upstage defending champion Mo Farah from Britain when the Commonwealth champion Caleb Mwangangi settled for silver in men's 5,000m at the World Championships on Saturday.
It was a lone battle for Mwangangi, who led through the bell but Farahpowered past the Kenyan on the homestretch to win in 13:50.38, and complete a double.
Mwangangi, the Africa, Continental Cup and 2014 Diamond League champion, timed 13:51.75 as Ethiopia's former World Cross Country junior champion Hagos Gebrhiwet claimed bronze in 13:51.86.
Others Kenyans in the race Isaiah Kiplangat and 2008 Beijing 5,00m bronze medallist Edwin Soi were nowhere to challenge for the crown, finishing eighth and 10th in 13:55.98 and 13:59.02 respectively.
Farah had on the opening day retained the 10,000m title beating Kenya's Geoffrey Kamworor and Paul Tanui to silver and bronze respectively. Tanui claimed bronze at the 2013 Moscow Worlds in a race won the Briton.
It was Kenya's second medal of the day after Eunice Sum has settled for bronze, losing her 800m title to Marina Arzamasova from Belarus.
