Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Beatrice Chebet of Kenya set a world record in the 10,000 meters at the Prefontaine Classic meet on Saturday, finishing in 28 minutes, 54.14 seconds.<\/p>\n

Chebet bested the previous record of 29.01.03 set by Ethiopia\u2019s Letesenbet Gidey at FBK Stadium in the Netherlands on June 8, 2021.<\/p>\n

Chebet finished ahead of Gudaf Tsegay of Ethiopia, who finished in 29:05.92 in cloudy and cool temperatures at Eugene\u2019s Hayward Field.<\/p>\n

Chebet started to pull away with three laps to go, then poured herself into the final lap.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy body was responding good and I felt strong,\u201d she said. \u201cI felt like I was very comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was her first 10,000 race since 2020 in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

Chebet, 24, won the silver medal at the 5,000 meters at the world championships at Hayward Field in 2022. She won the bronze in the event at the worlds last year in Budapest.<\/p>\n

The finish qualified her for her first Olympics this summer in Paris. She said Saturday she hopes to double in the 5,000 and 10,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut my target is to run 5,000 first, then 10,000 comes second,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause this is my first 10,000 outside the country to run, and I\u2019m so happy to run 28, a world record.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Prefontaine Classic is the lone American stop on the international Diamond League series.<\/p>\n
