he Ethiopian Almaz Ayana won the 10 000m in significantly improving the world record, 23 years old, 14 seconds, 29 min 17 sec 45 / 100e for the opening on Friday in athletics Rio. Ayana, 24, beat the Kenyan Vivian Cheruiyot (29: 32.53, a national record) and her compatriot Tirunesh Dibaba (29: 42.56), who was dual titleholder. World champion of 5000 m in 2015, Ayana started just after the 5th km (14: 46.9) to begin a race against time and demolish the previous record (29: 31.78) who belonged to the Chinese Wang Junxia since 8 September 1993. The first 13 have improved their personal bests, including Dibaba, returned from maternity. In Ethiopia, the rivalry between the two champions is particularly sensitive. Ayana is originally from a western province backed Sudan and Muslim majority. The Genzebe Dibaba -the younger sister holds the world record in the 1,500 m, such as Haile Gebrselassie and Kenenisa Bekele, come from the highlands, south of the capital Adids Ababa stronghold of orthodox Catholics.
