Cheptegei breaks 5 km world record

NAMPA
Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei lowered the 5 km world record on Sunday with a time of 12 minutes 51 seconds.

The 10 000 m world champion made the most of perfect conditions in the second edition of this race to improve on Kenyan Rhonex Kipruto's previous best of 13 minutes and 18 seconds last month in Valencia.

Cheptegei took 10 000 m gold at the world championships in Doha last October, with Kipruto in bronze.
