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.

In the men's race, world record holder Joshua Cheptegei will make his first appearance in the 10,000m this season, while Ethiopian star Yomif Kejelcha is in the driving seat with a world-leading time of 26:31.01.
