Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon believed she had secured a silver medal in the women’s 5000m race, but minutes later, she was disqualified for obstruction following an incident with Ethiopia’s Gudaf Tsegay two laps before the finish 😲
Netherlands’ Sifan Hassan, now set to receive silver, informed her teammate and gold medal winner Beatrice Chebet, who was puzzled by the decision.
Team Kenya plans to appeal the ruling.
