DOHA, Oct. 5 -- The penultimate day of the athletics world championships saw championships records in three events renewed as the United States and Kenya both had one-two finish here on Saturday.
Newly crowned 10,000m champion Sifan Hassan was victorious in the 1,500m as the Dutch runner set a championships record time of three minutes 51.95 seconds after her 10,000m victory a week ago.
"This is such an honor. I'm showing what you can do with hard work. It was amazing when I crossed the line and I saw that time," said Hassan.
"It was a hard win for me. I was just so angry with what people were saying. I've worked so hard to be on top over the years," she said.
Kenya's defending champion Faith Kipyegon had to settle for a silver in 3:54.22 to set a national record and Gudaf Tsegay of Ethiopia finish third in 3:54.38.
In the men's shot put, 2017 Beijing world champion Joe Kovacs grabbed the title again in 22.91 meters, a championships record.
His American teammate and Rio Olympic champion Ryan Crouser was pushed to second just one centimeter short of the winning mark. New Zealand's Tomas Walsh was third.
It was a closely fought final where the record was broken three times.
"I just cannot be happier to get the gold medal. This everyday hard work, it just paid of. This is definitely the final which made the history," said Kovacs.
Rio Olympic silver medalist Hellen Obiri successfully defended her 5,000m title, also creating a new championships record in 14:26.72. All-African champion Margaret Chelimo Kipkemboi, Obiri's Kenyan compatriot, came second in 14:27.49. Konstanze Klosterhalfen of Germany took bronze in 14:28.43.
"We have such great runners in Kenya. I worked hard to prove that we can win. It was not easy to run the championships record without the pacemakers but I felt the energy from the crowd and stayed focused," she said.
Women's triple jump saw defending champion Yulimar Rojas of Venezuela jumped to a world leading mark of 15.37m to win her country's first gold medal in Doha.
Jamaican Shanieka Ricketts took silver in 14.92 and Caterine Ibarguen of Colombia bagged bronze in 14.73.
In the last two events of the night, Jamaica and the United States won the women's and men's 4x100m relay respectively.
Jamaica took its third gold medal in Doha while the U.S. ran a second fastest time in history of 37.10 to win its 11th title at the worlds.
