Eugene, United States, Sept 18 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Sep, 2023 ) :Ethiopia's 10,000m world champion Gudaf Tsegay shattered the women's 5,000m world record on Sunday, winning the Diamond League finals at Eugene, Oregon in 14min 00.21sec.

The 26-year-old Tsegay shaved almost five seconds off the previous record of 14:05.

20 set by Kenyan Faith Kipyegon in Paris on June 9.

Kenyan Beatrice Chebet was second to Tsegay in 14:05.92, the third-fastest time ever.

Tsegay won the 2022 5,000m world title on the same Hayward Field track in Eugene.
