Julius Yego wins Kenya's first ever gold medal in a field event with a massive throw of 92.72m in the javelin, at the World Athletics Championships.

The Commonwealth Champion threw the third furthest distance ever and the longest effort by anyone in the last 14 years.

Egypt's Ihab Abdelrahman El Sayed (88.99m) took silver as Finland's Tero Pitkamaki (87.64m) completes the podium.
