World 5000m silver medallist Beatrice Chebet has shifted her focus to the Diamond League Meeting in Oslo after warming fans' hearts at the just-concluded Kip Keino Classic.

ATHLETICS Beatrice Chebet and Mary Moraa to light up Kip Keino Classic
Moraa and Chebet now join the stellar cast of Ferdinand Omanyala and Shelly-Anne Fraser-Pryce.
The 23-year-old is not resting on her laurels as she revealed that she will go back into training as she looks to upset fellow greats in Norway’s capital on Tuesday, June 15.
“I didn’t expect to win this race but I am happy all in all. So far, so good…my body is responding well to training. Going forward, I want to compete in the Diamond League Meetings and my next race is in Oslo.
"After that, I will now start preparing for the meeting in London before I head to the World Championships where I hope to go one step better,” she said.
During last year’s World Championships in Oregon, Chebet was forced to settle for second place after she was outsmarted by Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay.
