Rio Olympics: Africa’s first gold as Ethiopian breaks world record

Ethiopia’s Almaz Ayana has won Africa’s first gold medal at the Rio Olympics in the women’s 10,000m.
In an incredible race she also broke the world record – her time of 29 minutes 17.45 seconds beat the previous mark (29:31.78) by China’s Wang Junxia in 1993.
Kenya’s Vivian Cheruiyot took silver and Ethiopia’s Tirunesh Dibaba took bronze after winning the last two OIympic golds over 10,000.
