History was made at the World Athletics Diamond League in Eugene as Kenya's Beatrice Chebet and Faith Kipyegon obliterated world records in the women's 5000m and 1500m events! 🏅 Chebet became the first woman ever to finish a 5000m race under 14 minutes, clocking an insane 13:58.06. Talk about speed mode activated! 💨
Chebet, a double Olympic champion, dominated the track alongside Ethiopia's Gudaf Tsegay and fellow Kenyan Agnes Jebet Ngetich. In a nail-biting final lap, she left Tsegay in the dust, slicing 2.15 seconds off the previous record. 🎯 'I knew I could do this after Rome,' Chebet said, grinning like a boss. 'If Faith’s going for a record, why not me too?'
Meanwhile, Kipyegon—already a legend—rewrote her own 1500m history (details pending official confirmation). Together, these athletes proved Kenya’s track dominance is *unstoppable*. 🌍🔥
