Kenyan Beatrice Chebet won the 5000 metre race at the 2025 Xiamen Diamond League in 14:27.12, in Xiamen, China, on Saturday.
The 2024 Paris Olympic double gold medallist, who won both the 10,000m and 5000m events, led for most of the race, which included 10 athletes from Ethiopia. Fifteen of the 16 ran under 15 minutes.

The current world record is 14:00.21 by Ethiopian Gudaf Tsegay. Chebet’s personal best is 14:05.92 from 2023.
A woman will run the first sub-14-minute 5000m in 2025, and it will be either Chebet, Tsegay or Kenyan Agnes Ngetich who raced a 29:27 women’s-only 10km road race Saturday in Germany.
For Chebet, it was not the overall time that was surprising but the estimated final 200m sprint that raised eyebrows. She sprinted the final half lap in an estimated time from 26.5 seconds to 28.00. While this is fast, it seems nearly impossible at the end of an internationally competitive 12.5-lap race. The final lap was well under 60 seconds.
The 5000m run is a current world lead for 2025 and a meet record.
