Oympics Kenyan-born Ruth Jebet produced an astonishing piece of front running to win Bahrain's first Olympic gold when she claimed the women's 3000m steeplechase. Jebet timed an Asian record of 8min 59.75sec, missing out on the world record by less than a second. Reigning world champion Hyvin Kiyeng Jepkemoi of Kenya took silver in 9:07.12, with American Emma Coburn claiming bronze (9:07.63). "I'm happy to be a gold medallist, it was my first attempt to have a medal and I'm happy," said Jebet. AFP It’s almost time for the weather to start cooling down, which means beach- and poolparty season is upon us. Now, of course we know that if you’ve got a beach and you’ve got a body, then you’ve got a beach body. But, in truth, how many of us wouldn’t feel better if we were a little fitter, and not just from an aesthetic point of view? To help with that goal, we’ve teamed up with Fitness First to give away two six-month memberships giving you access to the club’s massive cardio zone, exercise machines, supporting audio and visual entertainment, an extensive free weights area and many group exercises each week.
