Kenya's Beatrice Chebet (right) produced a masterful display of tactical running to win gold in the Olympic women's 5 000m on Monday, ending defending champion Sifan Hassan's dream of a long-distance treble.
'Smiling assassin' does the business

Chebet nicknamed "the smiling assassin" - bided her time before accelerating past compatriot Faith Kipyegon down the home straight to take gold in 14min 28.56sec at the Stade de France.

Kipyegon, the reigning 5 000m world champion, was initially disqualified from the silver medal position for an alleged shove on Ethiopia's Gudaf Tsegay with two laps to go.

However, she was later reinstated after an appeal from Kenyan officials.
