Ruth Jebet, the Olympic and world 3,000m steeplechase record holder, has given her adopted nation Bahrain some sporting smiles.

Bahrain has celebrated its strongest show in the Olympic Games (Rio2016) where it won its first gold medal from Jebet as well as a silver medal from Eunice Kirwa, a feat that placed it at the top of the Arab countries.
