Kenyan athletes faced a stark reality on day four of the World Under-20 Championships in Eugene, Oregon, as they were beaten in events historically dominated by the country.

• Kenya failed to secure a medal in the men's 800m, an event they have dominated since 1988.
• Morocco's Imad Bouchajda claimed gold in the men's 800m, with Kenya's Collins Tajewou and Nasho Pkiach finishing fifth and sixth.
• Ethiopia secured a 1-2 finish in the women's 3000m, with Kenyan runners Mercy Chepngeno and Faith Rono finishing sixth and 19th.
