Beatrice Chebet of Kenya set a world record in the 10,000 meters at the Prefontaine Classic meet on Saturday in Eugene, Ore., finishing in 28 minutes, 54.14 seconds.

Chebet bested the previous record of 29.01.03 set by Ethiopia’s Letesenbet Gidey at FBK Stadium in the Netherlands on June 8, 2021.

Sha’Carri Richardson continued her march toward the Paris Olympics, winning the women’s 100 meters in 10.83 seconds. while American Christian Coleman won the day’s other notable event, the men’s 100, in a season-best 9.95.

Chebet finished ahead of Gudaf Tsegay of Ethiopia, who finished in 29:05.92.

Chebet started to pull away with three laps to go, then poured herself into the final lap.

“My body was responding good and I felt strong,” she said. “I felt like I was very comfortable.”

It was her first 10,000 race since 2020 in Nairobi.

Chebet, 24, won the silver medal at the 5,000 meters at the world championships at Hayward Field in 2022. She won the bronze in the event at the worlds last year in Budapest.

The finish qualified her for her first Olympics this summer in Paris.

Man United stuns Man City in FA Cup

Manchester United won the FA Cup after stunning defending champion Manchester City 2-1 in the final at Wembley.

United’s first silverware of the season deprived crosstown rival City of the first back-to-back English league-cup doubles. United also qualified for the Europa League next season.

The final was a repeat of last year’s which City won 2-1, and Pep Guardiola’s team did not give up its trophy without a fight.

Alejandro Garnacho opened the scoring in the 30th minute after mistakes from City defender Josko Gvardiol and goalkeeper Stefan Ortega.

Kobbie Mainoo then added a second goal in the 39th to spark celebrations from manager Erik ten Hag, whose job was under scrutiny going into the final.

United was in control at halftime but City piled the pressure on in the second half and eventually got back into the game through substitute Jeremy Doku’s long range shot into the bottom corner in the 87th.

It is United’s 13th FA Cup, one behind Arsenal’s record of 14. And it is Ten Hag’s second trophy in as many years at the club after winning the League Cup last year.

Ruud works extra to win Geneva Open

Casper Ruud did double duty and won back-to-back matches Saturday to take his third Geneva Open title in four years.

Ruud won the final 7-5, 6-3 against Tomas Machac, who eliminated Novak Djokovic in the only semifinal completed Friday, returning on court less than three hours after having defeated Flavio Cobolli.

He rallied from a slow start at 10.30 a.m. to beat Cobolli 1-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4) in a match delayed on Friday because of heavy rain.

Seventh-ranked Norwegian Ruud saved a match point at 5-4 in the deciding set. In the final later, he saved a set point when 5-4 down in the first set and Machac double-faulted.

• Madison Keys won the Strasbourg (France) International when she thrashed Danielle Collins 6-1, 6-2 in an all-American final.

• Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard completed a dream week when the French wild card won his maiden ATP title in just his fourth tour event — in his birth city to boot. Mpetshi Perricard, 20, saved a match point in the tiebreaker and beat sixth-seeded Tomas Martin Etcheverry of Argentina 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (7) in the Lyon (France) Open final.

• Filip Planinsek of Alabama and Alexa Noel of Miami rallied to win singles titles, and the Ohio State men and Georgia women won doubles crowns at the NCAA Tournament in Stillwater, Okla.

Switzerland surprises Canada, reaches final

Switzerland prevailed in a penalty shootout to stun Canada 3-2 and set up the final against host Czech Republic at the ice hockey world championship in Prague.

Sven Andrighetto scored the decisive shootout goal after the game finished 2-2 in regulation with no team scoring in the 10-minute overtime.

The 28-time champ Canada had to settle for the bronze medal game against Sweden.

Kings player Kevin Fiala scored, added an assist and scored one of the two Swiss goals in the shootout. Nino Niederreiter also scored for Switzerland. Goaltender Leonardo Genoni stopped 42 shots.

“It couldn’t feel better,” Fiala said. “To be honest, it’s special for us to be in the final and it doesn’t matter who we play. I’m very proud of the team. Our goalie, Leo, was unbelievable.”

Canada beat Switzerland 3-2 in the preliminary round last Sunday.

Switzerland also defeated Canada in the semifinals of the 2018 worlds, where the Swiss finished runner-up for their last medal.

The Czech Republic produced a three-goal second period as it downed Sweden 7-3 and advanced to the final for the first time since 2010.

Pogacar set to claim Giro d’Italia title

He has only today’s mainly ceremonial ride in Rome to confirm the win.
