Kenya's Emmanuel Korir won the men's 800m Diamond League Trophy in a world leading time 1:43.26 at Wanda Diamond League meeting (Weltklasse Zuerich) at the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich, Switzerland on Thursday.
Korir 🇰🇪: "The last few metres were very tough. I never expected it to be be this tough, but I did it. I was still behind in the last 200 metres - maybe the first 600 were a bit too slow - so I had to push it hoping I could finish second or third.
"I managed to come first in the end though. It is not about the secret, this is the result of hard work and a lot of training. You know, I was a bit behind today, but I did not give up - I will always do my best, and now I have the Diamond League trophy."
