| Ethiopia's Almaz Ayana competes in the final of the women's 5000 metres athletics event at the 2015 IAAF World Championships at the "Bird's Nest" National Stadium in Beijing on August 30, 2015 |
Ayana clocked a championship record of 14min 26.83sec, with Senbere Teferi, in 14:44.07, pipping Dibaba by 0.07sec on the line for an Ethiopian clean sweep of the podium places.
Dibaba had already won the 1500m, but Ayana's pace over the last five laps proved too rapid in her quest for a double.
