Dibaba takes women’s 5000m gold
Ethiopia’s Tirunesh Dibaba sprinted to gold in the slowest 5,000 metres race in four Olympics to become the first woman to win both long distance races at the same Games.
The 23-year-old world record holder won the 10,000m in the second fastest time a week ago but the early laps of Friday’s race more closely resembled the pace of the morning’s 50km walk.
