Sanjivani Jadhav's Hat-trick And Harmanjot Singh Headline Indian Performances At World 10K
World Athletics Gold Label Race: Two new champions emerged amongst the International Elite Athletes, one with prior experience and another on her new voyage at the 18th edition of the World 10K, a World Athletics Gold Label Race, here on Sunday.
When Rodrigue Kwizera missed the top spot in a photo finish to Kenya's Sebastian Sawe three years ago, he promised to come back to take the title in Bengaluru, and he did so with grit and determination today.
Kwizera snatched the lead at the 8th kilometer while Kibet was still on his heels. The 26-year-old runner from Burundi, who was a 10,000m World Championships finalist in Budapest 2023, never looked back and went on to win in a new event record at 27:31, about 7 seconds faster than Kenya's Nicholas Kipkorir Kimeli timed four years ago. It was the fifth fastest 10K time for Kwizera in his career.
