Sammy Kitwara cemented himself as the most successful runner ever at the World’s Best 10km with his fifth win while Belaynesh Oljira took Ethiopia’s first victory in four years on Sunday in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Facing one of the strongest winds in the history of the race, former world half-marathon bronze medallist Kitwara completed the distance in 28:51, the slowest winning time since the race turned international in 2000. World 10,000m bronze medallist Oljira launched a strong sprint to overcome her Kenyan rivals and take Ethiopia’s first World’s Best 10k victory since 2011.
