Agnes Ngetich has threatened the late Agnes Tirop's women-only 10km world record at the Adizero Road to records following the astonishing time she clocked to win the race.
Agnes Ngetich and Nicholas Kimeli stole the show at the Adizero Road to Records on Saturday morning, April 27.
Ngetich stopped the clock at 30:03 with Margaret Chelimo, the World Cross Country bronze medallist finishing second in style.
Ngetich started out in a comfortable way and was in charge of the race from 3km, looking very poised as he competed. The world 10km record holder looked to be challenged by Chelimo but she would not give up the title easily as she just kept going.
