The 3,000m women steeplechase race was supposed to be one of the most competitive events at the World Championships trials at Nyayo Stadium yesterday but in the end, the three main rivals crossed the line holding hands in triumph.
World record holder Beatrice Chepkoech was the hot favourite to win, but from the start, she seemed more interested in ensuring that Olympic silver medallist Hyvin Kiyeng and Celliphine Chespol also made the team to Doha as they plot to bring back the title that was won by USA in 2017.
