Kenyan Conseslus Kipruto continued with his rich vein of form, winning Thursday's Diamond League steeplechase final.
His win came after a stunning victory at the Olympic and other world titles, which have made him one of the most celebrated athletes in the middle-distance races.
His win on Thursday, however, was spectacular, considering he did it with one shoe after his shoe came off early in the 3000m race.
Despite the setback, Kipruto still managed to pass world silver medalist Soufiane El Bakkali of Morocco on the finishing straight in Zurich.
“I have big pain, I am injured because I lost my left shoe. That was a mess." Kipruto said after the race.
Olympic silver medalist Evan Jager was looking to become the first American to break eight minutes. It didn’t happen. Jager was third in 8:13.22.
Kipruto had looked vulnerable in 2018 with three Diamond League defeats.
