(Reuters) -Kenya's Beatrice Chebet smashed the women's 5,000 metres world record and compatriot Faith Kipyegon broke her own 1,500m record again as the Eugene Diamond League meet lived up to its billing on Saturday.
Olympic champion Chebet ran 13 minutes 58.06 seconds to better the time set by Gudaf Tsegay by over two seconds, the Ethiopian's 14:00.21 obliterated when the Kenyan left Tsegay for dust with 200 metres to go as she sprinted for the line.
