ATHLETICS Beatrice Chepkoech to attack world record in Zagreb as Omanyala faces off against familiar foes
Chepkoech has eyes on the record which currently stands at 5:52.80 and was set by Germany’s Gesa Felicitas Krause.
Frenchman Jimmy Gressier held onto him to finish second in 27:25.48 as Stanely Waithaka put up a good fight to finish third in a season's best time of 27:30.36.
In a post-race interview, he said: “It feels so good to win here tonight. The crowd was very good tonight and that definitely helped me."
"It was very hot and a lot of athletes suffered but I felt very good and this is what I trained for. I am so thankful and I thank God that I finally ran such a good time.”
Simiu has had a stellar season so far, bagging silver at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary. He had never won a medal on the global stage but this year was a breakthrough for him.
He also bagged the win in the men’s 10,000m at the Kip Keino Classic earlier this year and also clinched the top prize at the 10km Okpekpe Road Race in Nigeria.
He will be in action at the World Athletics Road Running Championships Riga 23 from October 1, competing in the Half Marathon and he will definitely be hoping to strike again.

He was in action at the Istanbul Half Marathon earlier this year and he won the race, so he will certainly be eyeing a win in Riga.
