Beatrice Chebet produced a devastating burst of speed to edge Kenyan teammate Faith Kipyegon for victory in the women's 5,000m in Tokyo on Saturday for a world championships double gold.

Chebet, who last weekend won the 10,000m, clocked 14min 54.36sec for victory, depriving Kipyegon of her own 1,500/5,000m double bid by 0.71sec.
