The Sudanese runner, Abubaker Khaki, has won a gold medal for the 800 meters race held in Qatar Super Grand Prix. Coach Jama Karaiin says his team was well prepared for the tournament.

By ISSA AWALEH, Somaliland Globe –

DOHA, QATAR – The Sudanese runner, Abubaker Kaki, won a gold medal for the 800 meters race held in the Qatari Capital, Doha on Friday May 8.

The 19-year-old Kaki clocked 1:43.09, to hold off the challenge from Kenya’s Asbel Kiprop (1:43.17), the Olympic 1500m champion in waiting, whilst Mohammed Al-Salhi of Saudi Arabia was third. Kenya’s Asbel Kiprop is used to finishing with a strong kick. That strategy didn’t work for him Friday when he competed in the 800m. Although he ran a personal best 1:43.17, he had to settle for second place when he couldn’t catch Abubaker Kaki Khamis of Sudan.

Coach: team well prepared
