Kenyans Chebet, Kipyegon light up Eugene Diamond League with world records

Chebet, Olympic gold medallist at 5,000 and 10,000m in Paris last year, delivered a devastating finish to become the first woman to break the 14-minute barrier in the 5,000. The 25-year-old said she was inspired by her own strong showing in Rome last month, and by Kipyegon's ambitious but ultimately unsuccessful bid to become the first woman to break four minutes for the mile just over a week ago in Paris. "In Rome I was just running to win a race, but after running 14:03, I said that I'm capable of running a world record," she said.
