Double Olympics champion Beatrice Chebet is basking in the glory of yet another world record following her heroics in Barcelona but what does she eat to fuel her to success?
Beatrice Chebet is among the athletes who had a fantastic 2024 season when she won two Olympics titles and broke world records.
Chebet signed off the year in style as she smashed the 5km world record by running 13:54, to shave 19 seconds off the previous mark, at the Cursa dels Nassos in Barcelona on New Year’s eve.
It was a great way to end a year that was filled with so much success for her, having started by defending her World Cross Country title, before smashing the 10,000m world record at the Prefontaine Classic in May.

Beatrice Chebet reveals goals for new season after ending stellar 2024 by making history in Barcelona
Beatrice Chebet capped off a stellar 2024 season marked by double Olympic triumph with a record breaking run.
“I like ugali because it has energy and after training, I have to eat it,” Chebet told NTV just days before her record-breaking feat in Barcelona.
“I also love white meat and chapati is also my favourite. Milk is also good, mursik [fermented milk that is a staple for the Kalenjin community] is a good accompaniment for ugali.
“Generally, I eat everything as long as my body does not react to it because at the end of it, I do a lot of training.”

Sha'Carri Richardson: Sprint queen's mentality heading into 2025 season
American sprint queen Sha'Carri Richardson is among the athletes to watch in 2025 as she will be looking to defend her title at the World Championships in Tokyo.
Like most of her Kenyan peers, Chebet sticks to what she knows and grew up eating, resisting the allure of trying out new things.
As she starts 2025, more glory is expected from her with the success of 2024 increasing pressure to do the same, or even better, this year especially at the World Championships in Tokyo, Japan in September.
