Beatrice Chebet wins gold

Kenya's Beatrice Chebet won her second gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, securing victory in the women's 10,000m with a time of 30:43.25, following her gold in the 5,000m. Chebet's win makes her the first Kenyan woman to win an Olympic gold in this distance event. Italy's Nadia Battocletti finished with silver, setting a national record at 30:43.35, while defending champion Sifan Hassan claimed bronze, clocking 30:44.12. Chebet's victory, which adds to her status as the world record holder in the discipline, was characterized by a strong final lap surge. Other Kenyan competitors, including Margaret Chelimo and Lilian Kasait, finished fourth and fifth, respectively. This marks a historic achievement for Kenya, as Chebet becomes the first athlete from her country to win two gold medals in a single Olympic Games.
