Kenya's Chebet wins Olympic 10,000m for second gold of Games

SPORTS 09.08.2024

Kenya's Beatrice Chebet won Olympic women's 10,000m gold in Paris on Friday, adding to her 5,000m crown to again scupper the hopes of defending champion Sifan Hassan.

Text size:

The world record holder, making her Olympic debut, clocked a winning time of 30min 43.25sec at a packed Stade de France.

Italy's Nadia Battocletti claimed silver in a national record of 30:43.35, while Hassan took a second bronze of the Games after also bagging third place in the 5,000m.

Chebet shattered the world record in the 25-lap event earlier this season, running a startling 28:54.14 in Eugene to become the first woman to break the 29-minute barrier.

Her victory in Paris leaves Hassan staring at Sunday's marathon as her sole chance to depart France with a gold.
