Serem leads Kenyan sweep of Steeplechase podium in Glasgow

Team Kenya athletes achieved a remarkable 1-2-3 finish in the men's 3,000m steeplechase final on the opening day of Athletics competition at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland on Monday night. After witnessing compatriot Diana Wanza narrowly missed out on gold in the women's 10,000m final just moments before, Edmund Serem, Leonard Bett, and Simon Koech stepped onto the track with aspirations of claiming gold in a race that Kenya has historically dominated. The three Kenyans took control of the race right from the onset. They frequently swapped the lead until the final lap, where the contest for gold intensified. As the bell rang, it became evident that the Kenyans would sweep all three medals, leaving their competitors behind.
