Kenya’s Moraa ends Mu’s title run in women’s 800m

Kenya's Mary Moraa skipped over the line in joy as she won the women's 800 metres world title in Budapest on Sunday and ended Athing Mu's dominance of the event.

The 23-year-old timed a personal best 1min 56.03sec with Britain's Keely Hodgkinson having to settle for silver like last year, as she finished in 1:56.34.

Mu, the Olympic and defending world champion who has rarely raced this year, finished third in 1:56.61.
