The men's 3000 metres steeplechase at the 2015 World Championships in Athletics was held at the Beijing National Stadium on 22 and 24 August.

This was a strategic race, with the Kenyan team asserting dominance in front of the pack but not running away from the field.

Conseslus Kipruto and Jairus Kipchoge Birech passed Jager a step before the barrier at the beginning of the backstretch.

After opening up a gap through the water jump, Conseslus came back swinging wide on the home stretch looking like he was going to run past Kemboi.

And the scenario remains the same, the final lap backstretch burst and a Kipruto struggling over the last barrier while trying to catch up.
