The duo were not counted among the outright favourites heading to London, although Coburn did win bronze at the Olympics last year. But going into the final lap, Jebet faded and was overtaken by the Americans and Kenyans Hyvin Jepkemoi and Beatrice Chepkoech. It is pretty amazing to get a championship record. Frerichs finished in 9:03.77 to complete a brilliant one-two for the U.S. and smash her own personal best by 16 seconds. The Americans went very fast, as you saw with the championship record.
