Uganda's Joshua Cheptegei set a new Olympic record as he claimed gold in the men's 10,000-metre final in Paris.

Cheptegei, the world record holder, won Friday's race at the Stade de France with a time of 26 minutes and 43.14 seconds.

The 27-year-old hung back for the majority of the race, but timed a late push to perfection with three laps remaining.

Having hit the front with around 500m remaining, Cheptegei held on to beat Ethiopia's Berihu Aregawi to the main prize.
