Cheptegei, aged 26, confidently took the lead in the last lap, securing the first position with ease, although his time wasn't able to match his world record of 26:11.00.
Gidey's 5,000m mark of 14:06.62 and Cheptegei's 10,000m performance of 26:11.00 were both set at the aptly named 'NN Valencia World Record Day' on October 7.
