Jebet
Rio de Janeiro - Arab Today
Bahrain teenager Ruth Jebet took gold in the women's 3,000m steeplechase on Monday, narrowly missing the world record.
The 19-year-old clocked eight minutes 59.75 seconds to fall just 0.94 seconds short of the record set by Russian Gulnara Galkina in 2008.
Kenya's Hyvin Kiyeng Jepkemoi took silver in 9:07.12 and the USA's Emma Coburn claimed bronze in 9:07.63.
"This is the second time that I missed the world record," Jebet said. "I admit that it was too easy for me, but nobody told me about the record. I wanted the gold medal."
