Ethiopian world record holder Letesenbet Gidey held off a twin Kenyan challenge in a terrific finish to win the 10,000 metres gold at the World Championships on July 16.
Gidey had been towards the front for the majority of the race but forged clear on the final lap.
Hellen Obiri and Margaret Chelimo Kipkemboi looked as if they might overhaul her in the final 30 metres but Gidey, glancing desperately to her right as Obiri closed, held on to win in 30:09.94 - the fastest time of the year.
