EUGENE, Oregon: Ethiopian Gudaf Tsegay held off late challengers to win the women's 5,000m at the World Championships on Saturday (Jul 23) as world record-holder Letesenbet Gidey faded down the straight to miss the podium.
Almost 6000 miles away in Guangzhou, China, Jean-Paul van Gastel settles down to watch a Rangers game on TV. In a corner of Hooley’s Irish Pub, the Dutch coach is eager to see how his best mate is getting on at Ibrox. And perhaps wonder what might have been if had he followed his pal to Glasgow.
Tokyo bronze medallist Tsegay traded the lead with compatriot Gidey, the world 10,000m champion, throughout the race until the pack took off for the final lap. The Netherlands' 5,000m Olympic champion Sifan Hassan, known for her ferocious kick, picked up the pace before delivering a challenge with 200m to go as she wove to the inside, but could not maintain her speed as Tsegay charged down the final straight. "I have been training well for 1,500m and this helps spring on the home stretch," said Tsegay, who collected silver in the 1,500m earlier in the meet.
The semi-final line-up for Euro 2022 is complete after France finally saw off holders Holland after extra time on Saturday.
EUGENE, United States: Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay surged down the home straight to win the women’s world 5,000m title in the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, on Saturday. Tsegay timed a winning 14min 46.29sec for gold, with Kenya’s Beatrice Chebet claiming silver in 14:46.75 and another Ethiopian, Dawit Seyaum, taking bronze (14:47.36). Olympic champion Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands could only finish sixth, meaning she will depart Oregon not having made the podium in either the 5,000 or 10,000m.
