Kenya's Kipyegon, Chebet cap season with Diamond League titles
Kenya ’s Faith Kipyegon padded her remarkable winning streak over 1 500 metres with her fifth Diamond League season title at the series finale, while compatriot Beatrice Chebet nearly crashed into a photographer en route to her 5 000 victory on Saturday.
Kipyegon, the world record holder and three-times reigning Olympic champion in the 1,500, smiled and held up five fingers after securing the win. Chebet, who won Olympic gold in the 5 000 and 10 000 in Paris this year, cruised home in a time of 14:09.82, her stiffest challenger being the photographer who stepped into lane one on the Kenyan’s penultimate lap.
