The two-time Olympic champion Chebet throttled the women’s 3000m race with a stunning win. The only performance faster was the 1993 performance of 8:06.11 , making it the second-fastest time in history behind the 1993 world record of 8:06.11 by China’s Junxia Wang, who has admitted that she doped under the direct of Ma Junren. Chebet also improved the African and meet records.

Italy’s Nadia Battocletti finished second in 8:26.27, improving her own national record from February. Ireland’s Sarah Healy clocked 8:27.02 for third.

Men’s 3000m steeplechase:

Moroccan hero Soufiane El Bakkali secured his fourth straight Rabat victory, winning in a world lead of 8:00.70. Germany’s Frederick Ruppert did well to finish second with a national record of 8:01.49, while Kenya’s Edmund Serem took third in 8:07.47.

Two years ago, El Bakkali set his personal record of 7:56.68 in the same Rabat meet. He took gold in both the Tokyo and Paris Olympic Games.

The world record in the 3000msc is held by Lamecha Girma of Ethiopia at 7:52.11. He earned a silver medal behind El Bakkali in Tokyo.
