Meters from the tape, 24-year-old Letesenbet Gidey fell, and in a blink of an eye -- victory was dramatically gone.
In a spectacular conclusion to the women’s race at the World Athletics Cross Country Championships in Bathurst, Australia, Saturday, Kenya’s Beatrice Chebet overhauled Gidey with an impressive final kick to win the title. With the finishing line looming, Gidey looked over her shoulder and would have sensed Chebet, the world 5000m silver medalist, sprinting towards her. It was as the Kenyan was on her shoulder that Gidey lost her footing on the uneven ground.
Let’s take the good forward to the future.” Olympic great Michael Johnson tweeted: “Wow! Heartbreaking for Letesenbet at World Cross Country Champs. Literally just meters from the tape!” Chebet, the under-20 world cross country champion in 2019, won gold in 33:48. Ethiopia’s Tsigie Gebreselama took silver in 33:56 and Kenya’s Agnes Jebet Ngetich bronze in 34:00. “I didn’t expect to win but she was slowing,” Chebet said, according to the sport’s governing body World Athletics.
