Chebet wins Olympic gold in the 5,000m race, marking a significant achievement for Kenya in the Olympic Games.
Kenya's Beatrice Chebet produced a masterful display of tactical running to win gold in the Olympic women's 5,000m on Monday, ending defending champion Sifan Hassan's dream of a long-distance treble.
Kipyegon, the reigning 5,000m world champion, was initially disqualified from the silver medal position for an alleged shove on Ethiopia's Gudaf Tsegay with two laps to go.Following that appeal, Dutchwoman Hassan was bumped back down from silver into bronze after finishing in a time of 14:30.61. But after deploying her favoured tactic of staying at the back of the field for most of the race, Hassan was unable to live with the pace of Kenya's Chebet and Kipyegon in the final stages of a thrilling race.
"I knew Faith is very strong so I had to go hard from 400 metres out," Chebet said afterwards."When she pushed, I thought, 'Let me follow her and see if I can secure second.' If I followed Faith, I thought I would get the silver.
