Beijing: Ethiopia swept the women's 5,000 metres final on the last day of Championships on Sunday when season leader Almaz Ayana took the title in championship record time. Ayana was crowned in 14 minutes and 26.83 seconds to put a wedge in Dibaba family's tradition in this event where Tirunesh Dibaba held the world record in 14:11.15 minutes.
Senbere Teferi, 20, took the silver medal in 14:44.07 minutes in her first senior world championships. “I had to win the gold medal. It was a hard race, a hard competition in general,” said Ayana. “I want to thank my husband for the hard training in the last weeks. He loves me and he made it possible for me to win the gold and to achieve a championships record. Now I am the 5000m champion.”
“It is great for our country that we won gold, silver and bronze,” she said. Tirunesh's younger sister Genzebe Dibaba finished third in 14:44.14 minutes on Sunday but she already had a title after winning 1,500m on Tuesday. Jamaica stunned Olympic champions the United States to capture the women's world 4x400 metres relay title on Sunday.
Anchor leg Novlene Williams-Mills pulled out a stunning last 50m to catch Francena McCorory in Beijing as the Jamaicans clocked three minutes, 19.13 seconds -- the best time in the world this year -- to pip their rivals on the line. American star Allyson Felix looked to have dug her team out of an early hole with a storming third leg to give McCorory a headstart into the last lap until Williams-Mills kicked coming into the home straight to win it for Jamaica. Britain took bronze in 3:23.62.
Asbel Kiprop led Kenya's top-two finish at the men's 1,500 metres final on Sunday. Kiprop clocked 3:34.40 minutes for the gold medal and Elijah Motonei Manangoi had the silver medal in 3:34.63 minutes. Morocco's Abdalaati Iguider took the bronze medal in 3:34.67 minutes at the Bird's Nest stadium.
Canada's Derek Drouin cleared 2.34 metres in a three-man jump-off to win the men's high jump gold medal on Sunday. China's Zhang Guowei and Ukraine's Bohdan Bongarenko shared the second place on 2.33 metres at the Bird's Nest stadium.
