2000m Steeplechase Qualification

After the start of the 2000m race, Kenya's runner by the name of Mutuku Peter Matheka ran to the front to lead the runners. After the first water-jump, he pulled away from the est of the runners and was having a comfortable lead. This went on until the second water jump, where Ethiopia's Fayisa Habtamu and Peter Matheka came out of the pack and maintained the top three positions.

At the last 1km of the steeplechase race, Kenya's Peter Matheka was starting to open up the lead and kept pull away. At the 3rd water-jump, he was having a 10metres lead from the nearest competitor. At the last 2 round of the 2000m steeplechase race, Peter was having a lead of 12m. At the 4th water-jump, the lead was going to 20 metres. The lead was 25-30m at the last round of the race, where Peter kept surging. Peter was leading all the way until the last water-jump, Fayisa Habtamu, from Ethiopia was around 10 metres away and started to catch up Peter. At the last 50metres, there was a tussle for a win. Fayisa had another gear in his leg to finally finish as the fastest finisher.
