Ugandan Peruth Chemutai produced a last-lap monstrous performance to clinch gold in the women's 3000m steeplechase at the Tokyo Olympics.
The 22-year old timed 9:01.45, ahead of American Courtney Frerichs (9:04.79) and Kenya's Hyvin Kiyeng (9:05.39) in second and third respectively.
Chemutai created daylight between herself and other competitors for a comfortable victory.
Her win edged her into history books as the first ever Ugandan female athlete to win gold at the Olympics — in addition to setting a national record in the women's steeplechase.
World record holder Beatrice Chepkoech finished a disappointing seventh, clocking 9:16.33.
She had previously expressed worries over her injury woes, including hamstring and tendon complications.
This showed during the race as she struggled to establish dominance over the race.
