Ndiku leads Kenya one-two in 5,000m final

By Sam Holden GLASGOW (Reuters) - - Caleb Ndiku raced to gold and the first track medal at the Commonwealth Games as Kenya snatched a one-two in the men's 5,000m final on Sunday. Ndiku, 21, the world indoor 3,000m champion, took advantage of Olympic and world champion Mo Farah's absence to produce a performance to match his golden hair. He won a pulsating final in 13 minutes, 12.07 seconds on a drizzly night at Hampden Park. Compatriot Isiah Koech took silver in 13:14.06 as the Kenyan pair overtook New Zealand twins Jake and Zane Robertson, who had led for much of the race. Zane took the bronze in 13:16.52, a season's best. Farah, who won the 5,000m and 10,000m titles at the London 2012 Olympics and the world championships in Moscow last year, withdrew from the Games last week due to illness.
