7 parts of the second of the second deprives Moroccan Sufyan Al -Baqali

Moroccan runner Sufyan Al -Baqali failed to keep his title as a champion of the 3,000 -meter race for the third time in succession, with his contentment with the silver medal in the World Athletics Championship held in Tokyo.

Al -Baqali holds the two golds of the two versions of Eugene 2022 and Budapest 2023 from the World Championship, and his neck surrounded the yellow metal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and the Paris Olympics last summer, but today it failed to win its third consecutive gold in the World Championship.

While Al -Baqali was heading to pass the finish line, New Zealand surprised him Jordi Pimish and snatched the first place of 8: 33.88 minutes, ahead of a difference of 7 parts of only a second for the Moroccan hostility, which recorded 8: 33.95 minutes.

The Kenyan Edmund Serim came third, winning the bronze medal (8: 34.56 minutes).

Al -Baqali, 29, was one of the most prominent candidates to win the title, by virtue of achieving the best global timing for this year during the Mohammed VI International Forum for Athletics included in the Diamond League, a time of 08 minutes, 00 seconds and 70 parts of a hundred.
