Poor baton exchange cost Kenya as the 4x100 metres team failed to finish the final at the Alexander Stadium on Sunday.
Samuel Imeta took off well at the blocks, but the second man Dan Kiviasi took off early making the exchange impossible.
Commonwealth Games 100m champion Ferdinand Omanyala and third leg Mike Mokamba watched in disbelief as Kiviasi crossed the exchange zone.

Kenya who had set a National Record in the semis made one change to their starting line up bringing in Kiviasi for Hesbon Ochieng.
“I want to apologise to the rest of the team for the terrible mistake. I simply blundered. The pressure was immense,” said the crest-fallen Kiviasi.
