YVES Sikubwabo failed to qualify for the 1500m race at the on-going World Junior Athletics Championships in Canada after finishing a distant 12th in the decisive heat.
The 17-year-old clocked a personal best time of 3:50.15 but it was still short of the required time. The youngster was using the competition as a preparation ground for next month’s inaugural Singapore Olympic Youth Games.

Ndiku, who is the eighth Kenyan to win the title, sailed home in style. He was in the lead right from the start; completed 400m in 55.89, passed 800m in 1:55.33 before completing the final bend in 2 minutes, 56 seconds and 46 micro-seconds.
Algeria’s Abdurrahman Anou and pre-race favourite Mohammed Al-Garni from Qatar secured silver and bronze respectively.
