Fiji’s Yeshnil Karan won his second gold medal yesterday after coming in first place in the men’s 5000 metres finals at the Pacific Games in the Solomon Islands.

Karan recorded a time of 15 minutes and 49.89 seconds for gold.

Karan who won his first gold in the 10,000 metres finals made his debut at the 5000m race at the Mini Games in Saipan last year where the Tahitian, who won the silver medal yesterday beat him.

Yesterday’s race was about redemption when he beat the same Tahitian to win gold.
