Bahamas’ Jeffery Gibson took the bronze medal today at the 15th 1AAF World Championships in Beijing, China. This is the country’s first medal at the Games. Russia’s Denis Kudryavtsev took silver and Kenya’s Nicholas Bett took gold.
“Behind them, The Bahamas’ Jeffrey Gibson completed a podium that would have been barely thinkable before the championships and took third place in a national record of 48.17, his second successive national record after running 48.37 in the sem-finals. Gibson just held off USA’s 2007 and 2009 world champion Kerron Clement, the least favoured of the quartet of American hurdlers ahead of the championships following his injuries in 2014, in a frantic battle for the bronze off the last hurdle.” – IAAF.org article
