Barcelona is once again the center of the running world on the last day of the year, a tradition that unites Barcelona as ‘City of Records‘. For the fourth consecutive year, the Cursa dels Nassos gave a world record, this time the work of Beatrice Chebeta massive athlete who became the first woman in history to break the 14-minute barrier in a 5 kilometer event. A feat that served to put an end to a great season of Beatrice Chebet, double Olympic champion in Paris 2024 in 5,000m and 10,000m and two world records.
“I’m so happy, everything went well. I want to run in Barcelona. It’s the second year in a row that I came to this race and I achieved the world record, I couldn’t ask for anything more,” the Kenyan champion told Mundo Deportivo, obviously excited after receiving the champion trophy and receiving the affection of Barcelona public.
“This is the best way to close a great year,” he said with great joy. “Now I will focus on my great goal for 2025, the Tokyo 2025 World Cup, where I want to achieve two golds in 5,000m and 10,000m”, the only major title missing from his record, also after becoming a double world cross champion of the country.
