Ugandan star Cheptegei withdraws from 5,000m title defense


Joshua Cheptegei, winner of the 10,000m gold last week, will not defend his 5,000m title as he focuses on recovery, says Uganda athletics federation. This withdrawal means Cheptegei will not become the third man in history to win Olympic gold on 5,000m twice after Lasse Viren and Mo Farah. Double world cross-country champion Jacob Kiplimo has also withdrawn, the federation said.
