Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway raced to victory in the 5,000 metres on the final day of the World Athletics Championships on Sunday, bouncing back from bitter disappointment in the 1,500m four days earlier.

The 22-year-old, who has battled an illness this week, ran down Spain's Mohamed Katir over the final 50 metres to win in 13 minutes 11.30 seconds. Katir took the silver in 13:11.44, while Jacob Krop of Kenya crossed in 13:12.28 for bronze.

Ingebrigtsen was out-kicked by Britain's Josh Kerr in the 1,500m on Wednesday in a carbon copy of last year's worlds in Eugene, USA, when he was pipped by Briton Jake Wightman.

And in a remarkable repeat performance of last year, he dug deep for the 5,000 victory on Sunday, patiently remaining near the back of the pack before moving up from fourth to second with 200 metres remaining in the smothering heat and humidity in Budapest.

Yavi's surge

Winfred Yavi of Bahrain stalked world record holder Beatrice Chepkoech for all but one lap of the women's 3,000 metres steeplechase, surging past the Kenyan over the final 400 metres to capture gold on Sunday.

The 23-year-old Yavi crossed the finish line in a world-leading eight minutes 54.29 seconds for the victory, while Chepkoech crossed in 8:58.98 for silver.

Faith Cherotich, a 19-year-old from Kenya, captured the bronze in a personal best 9:00.69 to become the first teenager to climb the world medal podium in the event.

Parul's feat

Parul Chaudhary created a national record of 9 minute 15.31 seconds while finishing 11th in the women's 3000m steeplechase final. The earlier record was held by Lalita Babar (9:19.76) who had finished eighth in the final of the 2015 World Championships.

Parul had clocked a personal best of 9:24.29 in the heats at Budapest. The Indian runner’s mark was also better than the Paris 2024 Olympics qualifying standards for the women’s steeplechase event, set at 9:23.00.
