Athletics-American Hocker finds redemption with 5,000m gold

ReutersSep 21, 2025 11:14 AM

TOKYO, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Cole Hocker, who was disqualified from the 1,500 metres, earned redemption in the 5,000m at the world championships on Sunday, timing his run to the line to perfection to clinch a first world title.

The 24-year-old American, Olympic champion at 1,500m, crossed the line in 12 minutes 58.30 seconds to make amends for being disqualified from the shorter race for barging through his rivals at the finish of his semi-final.

Belgian Isaac Kimeli took silver in 12:58.78, while Frenchman Jimmy Gressier claimed bronze to add to his stunning gold in the 10,000m in Tokyo.

Norway's double defending champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who has been struggling with an Achilles injury and barely qualified for the final, briefly led the race but finished 10th in 13:02.00.
