Rio de Janeiro - Arab Today
Bahrain teenager Ruth Jebet took gold in the women's 3,000m steeplechase on Monday, narrowly missing the world record.
The 19-year-old clocked eight minutes 59.75 seconds to fall just 0.94 seconds short of the record set by Russian Gulnara Galkina in 2008.
Kenya's Hyvin Kiyeng Jepkemoi took silver in 9:07.12 and the USA's Emma Coburn claimed bronze in 9:07.63.
"This is the second time that I missed the world record," Jebet said. "I admit that it was too easy for me, but nobody told me about the record. I wanted the gold medal."

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
