Blink and you’ll miss ’em. 🏃‍♀️⁣ •⁣ Kenyan runner Beatrice Chebet set a world record at the Prefontaine Classic this weekend in the 5,000m event, smashing the world record with a time of 13:58.06. 🙌⁣ •⁣ Chebet became the first woman to run under 14 minutes in the event, surpassing the previous record of 14:00.21 set by Ethiopian Gudaf Tsegay at the 2023 Prefontaine Classic. 😮‍💨⁣ •⁣ She now owns the world record for both the 5,000m and 10,000m. The two-time Olympic gold medalist also holds the world record in the 10,000, which she set at last year’s Prefontaine Classic, running in 28:54.14 to become the first woman to break 29 minutes in the event. 🔥⁣ •⁣ Oh, and Kipyegon? She did what she does best: break records, erasing her previous 1500m world record with a blazing fast 3:48.68 finish. 👏 #thegist ⁣ •⁣ (c/o preclassic)⁣ •⁣ #womenssports #running #beatricechebet #track #prefontaineclassic
