EDINBURGH, Jan 8: Kenyan Olympic and world 1,500 metres champion Asbel Kiprop coasted to victory in the Great Edinburgh three kilometres cross-country challenge race in nine minutes 20 seconds on Saturday.
Ethiopia’s Kenenisa Bekele, the Olympic 10,000 and 5,000 metres gold medallist, and Kenyan Olympic steeplechase champion Brimin Kipruto finished well down the field.
