Kemboi disqualified from steeplechase, Mekhissi takes bronze
Kenya's Ezekiel Kemboi was disqualified from the Olympic Games men's 3,000m steeplechase on Wednesday for having stepped off the track, promoting France's Mahiedine Mekhissi to bronze.
Kemboi was the reigning twice Olympic champion and had originally finished third in Wednesday morning's race won by his compatriot Conseslus Kipruto.
Mekhissi finished fourth but appealed against Kemboi, resulting in the disqualification and his own promotion.
