Olympic champion Beatrice Chebet produced a devastating burst of speed to edge Kenyan teammate Faith Kipyegon for victory in the women’s 5000m on Saturday and secure a world championships double gold.
Chebet, who last weekend won the 10,000m, clocked 14min 54.36sec for victory, depriving Kipyegon of her own 1500/5000m double bid by 0.71sec.
Nadia Battocletti earned a deserved bronze medal for Italy.
