Ethiopia's Genzebe Dibaba storms to 1,500m World Championships gold in Beijing, while GB's Laura Muir comes home in fifth place.

Ethiopia's Genzebe Dibaba has stormed to the gold medal in the women's 1,500m event at the World Athletics Championships in Beijing this afternoon.

The final was one of the most eagerly-anticipated events at the Championships due to a talented field, but ultimately Dibaba proved too good for her challengers to clinch a first world title.

The 24-year-old, who set a new world record last month, began to pull away from the pack on the final lap, although Netherlands' Sifan Hassan threatened to challenge her with a late surge.

Hassan eventually had to settle for third, however, as Faith Chepngetich Kipyegon of Kenya fought back to finish in second place.

Dibaba's time of 4:08.09 was significantly slower than her world-record time, but she still finished almost a second clear of her closest rival.

Great Britain's Laura Muir also impressed with her performance, coming home in fifth place with a time of 4:11.48.
