The two-time Olympic champion from Kenya completed the distance in 13 minutes and 54 seconds, thus improving his own record from a year ago by 19 seconds. Chebet had a great year, winning the 5,000 and 10,000 meters at the Paris Olympics.
– I felt that I would be able to run within 14 minutes, and it finally came together. Two races in Barcelona, two world records, do you need more? said the 24-year-old winner. During the year, Chebet ran a world record in the 10,000 meters in May, at the Eugene stop of the Gyémánt League series, and in September he finished first in the 5,000 meters at the GyL final in Brussels.
