Kenya's Beatrice Chebet led an African top three in the women's 3000m at the Diamond League meeting in Stockholm, Sweden on Sunday.

In difficult weather conditions she recorded her season's best time of 14 minutes 36.52 seconds. Ethiopia's Lemlem Hailu and Medina Eisa came second and third

Ethiopia monopolised the medals in the women's 1500m, with Freweyni Hailu leading the three with a time of 4:02.31.
