Further down the results, France’s Alice Finot finished 8th in 9:15.33, while Ethiopia’s Lomi Muleta, who once held high expectations in the event, dropped two places from her qualification rank and finished 9th in 9:15.45.
Veteran Gesa Felicitas Krause of Germany could only manage 10th place in 9:28.75, well off her personal best of 9:03.30, raising questions about her fitness just weeks away from the Olympic trials.
There were also disappointing outings for Flavie Renouard (11th) and Caren Chebet (12th), who finished outside of competitive contention, while Poland’s Agnieszka Chorozepa did not finish the race.
Cherotich’s performance sent a clear message to the world: she is ready to challenge for gold in Tokyo later this summer. With sub-8:55 times now within reach and her confidence visibly high, the Kenyan looks poised to lead a new wave of dominance in the women’s steeplechase.
