US racer Paul Chelimo was allowed to keep his Rio 5,000m silver after being briefly disqualified for breaking a rule on Saturday, the US Track and Field (USATF) governing body said.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Kenyan-born sprinter came second in 13 minutes 03.90 seconds after Mo Farah of Britain, who ran 13 minutes 03.30 seconds.

​He was disqualified for infringing the inside border in the final stage of the Olympic race but quickly appealed and was soon reinstated, according to the SB Nation sports news website.
