Playing in front of over nine thousand fans and with just four minutes to regulation time, goalkeeper Saad al Sheeb brought down Ali Alipour. The resultant kick was neatly dis- patched by the striker. That gave Persepolis an important 1-0 away win .

    ARAB TIMES, TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 2021 16 Liu Yang, of China, performs on the rings during the artistic gymnastics men’s apparatus fi nal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. (AP) Sports Latest sports scores at — http://sports.arabtimesonline.com INDONESIA UPSET CHINA FOR DOUBLES GOLD; LOPEZ MAKES HISTORY El-Bakkali ends Kenyan dominance Carey shines TOKYO, Aug 2, (AP): Sou- fi ane el-Bakkali of Morocco ended more than 40 years of Kenyan 3,000-meter stee- plechase Olympic domi- nance. El-Bakkali won in 8 minutes, 8.90 seconds on a wet track at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo. He fi n- ished well clear of Lamecha Girma of Ethiopia, who took the silver. Benjamin Kigen claimed a bronze for Kenya after Ethiopia’s Getnet Wale, who was third heading to the fi nal straight, fell. Wale struggled back to his feet and clung on for fourth. The 25-year-old el-Bakkali was fourth at the last Olympics in Rio de Ja- neiro and on the podium at the last two world championships, but this was his fi rst major title. Kenya had won nine straight Olym- pic golds in the 3,000 steeplechase since 1980. Kenya’s Conseslus Kipruto, the leading star of the steeplechase, didn’t defend his Olympic title in Tokyo after failing to make the Kenyan team at the national trials. Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands started her bid to win three medals at the Tokyo Games by earning gold in the 5,000 meters. Hassan pulled away with about 250 meters to go and cruised to the win in a time of 14 min- utes, 36.79 sec- onds.
