Uganda's Peruth Chemutai has won the 3,000m steeplechase gold as Kenyan world champion and world record holder Beatrice Chepkoech finished seventh.

Chepkoech had complained after Sunday's heats that she was suffering from an injury.

American record-holder Courtney Frerichs was run down on the final lap after a brave break but took silver ahead of Kenya's Hyvin Kiyeng in third.
