I think we should acknowledge this.
Kenyan athlete Beatrice Chebet demolished the women’s 5K world record when she won the Cursa dels Nassos road race in a incredible time of 13:54. She bettered the previous women’s 5K world record on the road, a staggering 19 seconds. What’s more, Chebet’s seismic run in Barcelona surpassed even the women’s 5K world record on the track – the 14:00.21.
As such, 24-year-old Chebet is now the first woman in history to run the distance in under 14 minutes on any surface.
