Chebet smashes own women’s 5km world record

Double Olympic champion Beatrice Chebet crowned a golden year as she smashed the women’s 5,000m world record at the Cursa dels Nassos road race in Barcelona.
The 24-year-old Kenyan finished the race in 13 minutes and 54 seconds to become the first woman to break the 14-minute barrier in the event.
Chebet, who won 5,000m and 10,000m gold at the Paris Olympics earlier this year, beat her previous mark – set a year ago to the day in the same race – by 19 seconds.
“I’m super happy as everything went according to plan,” she said. “I felt capable of running under 14 minutes and I managed to do so. Two races in Barcelona and two world records, can I ask for more?
“My focus for next year is to win gold medals over 5,000m and 10,000m at the World Championships in Tokyo.”
Chebet was all on her own as she sprinted through the race and embraced friends at the finish line after adding yet another accolade to her name.
Alongside her Olympic success in 2024, she also broke the 10,000m world record in Eugene in May, before claiming her second Diamond League title in the 5,000m in September.
