Beatrice Chebet will attempt to break the 5000m world record as she heads to the Diamond League Meeting in Zurich.
Following her dominant exploits at the Paris Olympic Games where she made history, Beatrice Chebet hopes to continue her winning streak at the Diamond League Meeting in Zurich where she will be racing against formidable opponents.
Chebet became the first Kenyan woman to win gold medals in the 5000m and 10,000m in Olympic history. Vivian Cheruiyot almost achieved the feat at the 2016 Rio Olympics where she claimed gold in the women’s 5000m and silver in the 10,000m.
Chebet was flawless at the Olympic stage and despite much not being said about her, she is surely one to watch when the gun goes off n Zurich. In the Swiss city, the 5000m world record set by Gudaf Tsegay at last year's Diamond League final in Eugene will be in danger as she can use the Wavelight in the Letzigrund Stadium to guide her to another world record in her already decorated resume.
