Beatrice Chebet has explained how she plans to conquer both the 5,000m and 10,000m at the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo.
Double Olympics champion Beatrice Chebet has explained what gives her confidence of winning another 5,000m and 10,000m double gold this year.
Chebet pulled off a major coup last year, when she scooped Olympics gold in both 10,000m and 5,000m in Paris, and heading into the 2025 World Championships, in Tokyo, Japan in September, she is confident of another double act.
The 25-year-old, who had already hit the 10,000m qualifying time for the World Championships, still turned up for the trials to Tokyo at Ulinzi Complex in Nairobi on Tuesday, finishing third behind Janeth Chepng’etich, Agnes Jebet and she has great confidence in Team Kenya.
