After demolishing stellar women's fields, Beatrice Chebet and Mary Moraa stormed to phenomenal victories in Zurich, the last leg of the Diamond League series before the two-day grand finale set for the next Friday and Saturday.

In the process, the two glorious women fired warnings at the Thursday night catfights ahead of the final leg in Brussels, Belgium, as they won their races.

Chebet, a double Olympic Champion, won the women’s 5000m contest in a world lead while Moraa, the Olympic bronze medallist, managed another dance in Zurich.

An attempt to lower Ethiopian Gudaf Tsegay’s World Record in the women’s 5000m was on Chebet’s cards, but the women’s 10,000m fastest athlete had to postpone the mission, although she won the race in an impressive 14:09.52.
