Kenya’s Beatrice Chebet wins a dramatic gold in the women's 5,000 metres at Paris 2024 as Faith Kipyegon is reinstated to second place.
Faith Kipyegon will join Beatrice Chebet at the women's 5,000m medal ceremony following a successful appeal against her disqualificationKenya’s Beatrice Chebet took Olympic gold in the women's 5,000 metres at Paris 2024 after she sprinted home to win a dramatic race which saw Faith Kipyegon disqualified but then later reinstated.
However, Kipyegon was eventually reinstated in second place following a successful Kenyan appeal to World Athletics.Chebet, the runner-up at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene and a bronze medallist in Budapest last year, hung in with Kipyegon through much of the 5,000m final. She smiled widely as she crossed the line after an exhausting performance which delivered her country’s first medal of the Games in the French capital.
"Faith had to use her hand to tell Gudaf 'Don’t push me'. It wasn’t Faith’s fault, she lost her balance and tried to avoid stepping out of the track." Hassan, who is also competing in the 10,000m and marathon at these Olympics, accepted the outcome of the appeal.“I don’t really feel like I really deserved the silver. I don’t wish for medals I did not win.
