Australia wins bronze in relay at World Cross Country Championships (The Guardian)

Ollie Hoare, Jessica Hull, Stewart McSweyn and Abbey Caldwell take third as Australia's fourth medal ever in 50 years.

I knew we were in a really good spot, regardless of what colour medal we ended up coming away with.” Kenya clocked a winning time of 23min 14sec, ahead of Ethiopia (23min 21sec) and the Australian team of Ollie Hoare, Hull, McSweyn and Caldwell (23min 26sec) on a difficult course on the infield of the Mt Panorama motor racing circuit in Bathurst. Ethiopia’s Birke Haylom moved past Abbey Caldwell in the first 200m of the final leg but Caldwell held her nerve to ensure Australia would win only their fourth medal in the 50-year history of the championships – and their first in the mixed relay.

Kiplimo succeeds compatriot Cheptegei as world cross-country ... (World Athletics)

The senior men's title at the World Athletics Cross Country Championships Bathurst 23 remained with Uganda, but this time a different athlete wore the crown ...

In 2021 he won the Diamond League 5000m title and set a world 5km record on the roads, but missed out on a 10,000m at the Olympic Games. “I think it was a good race, especially coming back from injury,” said the world 5000m and 10,000m record-holder. But Kiplimo, who has considerable mountain-running experience, was clearly still full of running, despite the challenging course and he made a break on the final lap. Kwizera, meanwhile, was starting to lose contact with the lead group, and Olympic 10,000m champion Selemon Barega of Ethiopia was beginning to show signs of discomfort. The pace increased slightly on the second lap, whittling the lead pack down to 15 men with most of the big contenders in it. Kenya’s Geoffrey Kamworor, two-time winner of the senior men’s title, was tucked behind the leading trio with the first lap covered in 6:09.

Aussie gun's priceless call on day of carnage (Wide World of Sports)

Oliver Hoare, Jessica Hull, Stewart McSweyn and Abbey Caldwell threw down a mighty challenge to long-time distance-running juggernauts Kenya and Ethiopia. READ ...

Australia's Leanne Pompeani was also in distress, slumping to the ground about 20m from the finish line. "Every single step (in Bathurst) was hard, 500m in your heart rate's already elevated, people are pushing, the ground's uneven, you can never feel comfortable. Then it starts to really kick in, your legs go a bit heavy, you have to push through the last 5km. Ethiopia's Letesenbet Gidey was about 30m from the finish line in the women's senior race when she collapsed. I was just trying to measure it like that. That's the goal and I think we achieved something great today." For me that was the most important thing going through it. Maybe we are part of 'the big three' in distance running now," McSweyn said, drawing laughter from his teammates and reporters. She staggered back to her feet, wobbled to the finish line and was carted to a medical tent in a wheelchair. I want kids to see that Australia is a dominant force in the athletic world, track-and-field world and cross-country world. "I think chasing was probably a good way for me to run the leg because I was able to measure it out a bit more. "The one thing that we can do here is medal for Australia at such a massive event.
