Beatrice Chebet has another opportunity to ooze class in the women’s 5000m at the Zurich Diamond League, the second last of the series, on Thursday evening.

The double Olympic champion, who will be in the company of Margaret Akidor, the winner in Monaco in July and African Games winner Janeth Chepngetich, is eyeing history in Switzerland ahead of the final leg in Brussels, Belgium on September 13-14.

Apart from her compatriots, Akidor and Chepngetich, Chebet – the world record holder in the women’s 10000m, will be up against Ethiopian stars including World Cross Country silver medallist Tsige Gebreselama, world bronze medallist Taye Ejgayehu and African bronze medallist Gela Ambese as well as two-time NCAA champion Karissa Scweizer of USA and Australia’s Georgia Griffith – a World University Games silver medallist, among others.

Chebet will be banking on the contestants' speeds in her push to write history in the women’s 5000m.
