Kenya's Faith Chepngetich Kipyegon timed her run to perfection to win gold in the women's 1500m at the Rio Olympics on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old Commonwealth Games champion held a steady pace for most of the race before making a move in the final lap and streaking to victory in the home straight with a time of four minutes 8.92 seconds.

Ethiopia's Genzebe Dibaba took silver in 4:10.27 and the USA's Jennifer Simpson pocketed bronze in 4:10.53.
