Kenya top medal table

AFP, BEIJING: Even without Usain Bolt, Jamaica finished the world championships with a bang on Sunday, storming to the women’s 4x400m relay title to match Kenya’s gold tally at the top of the medals table.
Anchor leg Novlene Williams-Mills pulled out an eye-popping last 50m to catch Francena McCorory as the Jamaicans clocked this year’s best time of three minutes, 19.13 seconds to pip the United States on the line in Beijing.
