Olympic 5000m and 10.000m champion Beatrice Chebet ended her year on a high by running a stunning 13:54 to shatter the world 5km record at the Cursa dels Nassos, a World Athletics Label road race, in Barcelona on Tuesday (31).
In doing so, the 24-year-old Kenyan bettered the previous record by 19 seconds. The two-time world cross-country champion, who holds the world 5000m record at 14:05.92, also became the first woman to beat 14 minutes for the distance on any surface, track or road.
