The latter record was set in February 2020.
The 5,000m and 10,000m world record holder outcompeted Kenya’s Berthwell Birgen and Davis Kiplangat, 13:18 and 13:19, respectively, to retain the title.
Cheptegei described the race as “good” but said “the wind was incredibly difficult to break.”
Currently the world’s cross country champion, Cheptegei is one of the 10 world’s athletes to hold the 5,000m and 10,000m titles at the same time.
