Kenya wins title

Kenyan runners put on a masterful display in Punta Umbria, Spain to take home 3 out of the 4 gold medals on offer at the 2011 edition of the IAAF world cross country championships. The Kenyan contingent rounded off the superior performance by also defending the overall team title, despite losing out on the men's senior gold, in what will go down as a weakened display as compared to last year's edition in Poland, where Kenya totally dominated the field. The Kenyan national anthem played six times in front of the fervent crowd in Spain to mark a successful outing for the cross-country team in the 39th edition of the championships.
