Beatrice Chebet has won the women's 10,000 metres title at the world championships on Saturday, but suggested she would not attempt a rarely-achieved distance double after a long season.

Chebet, the world record holder in both the 5,000m and 10,000m, clocked a winning time of 30min 37.61sec for the first track gold of the championships in Tokyo.
