Masalela’s win marked one of the standout performances on the Diamond League circuit so far this year.
Kinyamal ran a smart race, positioning himself within the lead pack from the start and keeping close through the first lap.

“The preparation ahead of the season was good and I am looking forward to compete in the World Championships. My next goal will be to achieve a better time,” Kinyamal added.
