Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Sabastian Sawe moved to fifth on the men\u2019s world 10km all-time list, following his victory at the Adizero Road to Records event in Herzogenaurach, Germany, on April 29.<\/p>\n

Kenya\u2019s Sawe turned the tables on last year\u2019s 10km winner Kibiwott Kandie to triumph in 26:49 \u2013 three seconds ahead of his compatriot. With that time, Sawe improved his PB by five seconds to better the 26:54 he ran when finishing runner-up to Kandie in Herzogenaurach last year.<\/p>\n

Forming part of a Kenyan top five, Nicholas Kipkorir Kimeli was third in 26:54, world record-holder Rhonex Kipruto was fourth in 27:09 and Levy Kibet was fifth in 27:14.<\/p>\n

Kandie and Sawe were to the fore as the first kilometre was covered in 2:41 and then Kandie took control, leaving the pacemakers behind, as 3km was hit in 8:04.<\/p>\n

The halfway point was reached in 13:27 as Kandie led from Kipruto and they started to string out the field, a 2:37 sixth kilometre further breaking up the pack.<\/p>\n

But then the pace dipped slightly and Sawe took advantage, gaining a gap on his rivals that he wouldn\u2019t relinquish. Always in control, he continued to move ahead and claimed a clear win \u2013 a second consecutive victory after his half marathon triumph in Berlin at the start of this month.<\/p>\n

Kenya\u2019s Irine Jepchumba Kimais also maintained a win streak, taking top spot in the women\u2019s 10km in a PB of 30:23 as she held off the challenge from Ethiopia\u2019s Fotyen Tesfay and Kenya\u2019s Agnes Jebet Ngetich.<\/p>\n

Kimais, who claimed half marathon victories in Barcelona in February and Prague earlier this month, improved her previous 10km best of 31:21 that secured her ninth place at this event last year, winning by three seconds ahead of Tesfay.<\/p>\n

Ngetich, who claimed bronze at the World Cross Country Championships in Bathurst in February, finished third in 30:27 as the top three all set PBs. Behind them, Kenya\u2019s Janeth Chepngetich finished fourth in 30:28 and Ethiopia\u2019s 17-year-old Senayet Getachew set a world U20 best of 30:34 to finish fifth.<\/p>\n
