Beatrice Chebet won the 10,000 metres world title while the cream of sprinting delighted a sellout 55,000 crowd at the world championships on Saturday -- a stark contrast to the empty stadium at the Covid-affected Tokyo Games in 2021.

Chebet, 25, added the world title to her Olympic crown in Paris last year where the Kenyan also won the 5000m.
