When is the 10,000m final at the Olympics 2024?
All the details about the men's and women's 10,000m finals at the 2024 Olympics, including when the races take place and how to watch them.
If you haven't already heard of Beatrice Chebet, you're about to.
The Kenyan long-distance runner demolished the 10,000m world record by almost seven seconds in May this year and is gunning to make her mark on the Olympic stage in Paris.
Chebet – the first woman to break the 29-minute barrier – hadn't actually intended to challenge the record. She found herself on pace after Gudaf Tsegay, who had attempted to clinch the WR, fell off towards the end of their race in Eugene, Oregon.
