Ethiopian Steeplechaser Robe Gari Secures Osaka
Place in Brazzaville Ethiopian national 3000m steeplechase
champion and Addis Ababa stadium record holder Roba Gari continued his
outstanding season by dipping under the IAAF qualifying A standard for
11th IAAF World Championships in Osaka, Japan at the CAA
Grand Prix in Brazzaville, Congo on Sunday. The Defence club runner, who
had clocked 8:31 for victory in Herrera, Spain last weekend, got the
better of Kenyan former world and Olympic champion Reuben Kosgei in
the Congolese capital to win the race in 8:15.05, more than ten seconds
better than the qualifying A standard for Osaka. Gari is now an undefeated in five consecutive races following victories in the All-Ethiopian Games, the Addis Ababa Municipal Championships, the Ethiopian Athletics Championships, and two international meets in Herrera, Spain and Brazzaville.
