Their convincing victory came as a timely relief for the Tanzania athletics fans at the 60,000-seater venue who were upset when local runners faltered in the men&#8217;s 100m and 800m race earlier yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was very disappointed when my compatriots were easily outsmarted by Kenyans and Ethiopians in the 100m and 800m races,&#8221; said Joseph shortly after the race. &#8220;We run as a team and that is why we managed to outshine them (Ethiopians and Kenyans) in the 10,000-metre race, I am so joyous. Thanks be to God,&#8221; added the excited Joseph.<\/p>\n<p>In the men&#8217;s 110m steeplechase, Tanzanian Yohana Kisau finished second after clocking 16.23 seconds, 1.05 sec behind Hafidh Hussein of Sudan, while Hussein&#8217;s compatriot Abbas Ismail finished third in 16.28 sec. In the women&#8217;s 100m steeple chase, Sudan&#8217;s Tasabih Mohamed claimed a gold medal after clocking 16.02 and Nasria Abdallah and Mariam Yusuf both of Zanzibar, came second and third in 17.04 and 22.08 seconds, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>In the men&#8217;s 800-metre race, Ethiopian Yalima Yado won a gold after clocking 1:48.81. Sudan claimed the second and third positions through Mohamed Ismail and Othman Yahya, who clocked 1:49.71 and 1:50.49.The championship, which has attracted athletes from seven countries, comes to its climax today when participating runners battle it out for top honours in various disciplines, including the 400, 200, 5000, 1500, 300m races.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>More here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106061576.html\" title=\"Tanzania: Athletes Race to Glory\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tanzania: Athletes Race to Glory<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The Citizen (Dar\u00a0es\u00a0Salaam) Imani Makongoro 4 June 2011 Tanzania&#8217;s Marco Joseph, Anold Loning&#8217;o and Peter Sule won the men&#8217;s 10,000-metre race in the East and Central Africa senior athletics championship in a remarkable fashion yesterday.
