Kenyans once gain stamped their authority in the 3 000 metres when Ezekiel Kemboi (gold), Conseslus Kipruto (silver), Brimin Kipruto (bronze) and Jairus Birech (fourth) scooped the first four positions on Monday at the 2015 IAAF World Athletics Championship in Beijing.
The following are some tweets from citizens of other nations about Kenya's performance in that race which has since been nicknamed "The Kenyans' Race".
