Kenyan middle- and long-distance runners Faith Kipyegon and Beatrice Chebet smashed the world records in the 1500m and 5000m races, respectively, on Saturday, July 5, to continue a hot streak for Kenyan runners.
The two achieved this great honour at the 50th Prefontaine Classic held at the Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, United States.
Kipyegon broke her own record almost a year after setting it, clocking in at 3:48.68.
The new record lowers her previous one by .36 seconds.
