Tokyo: Faith Kipyegon and Beatrice Chebet, who have won world titles in the 1,500 and 10,000m in Tokyo this week, will face off in the 5,000m for the chance of a championships double.
The Kenyan pair safely negotiated their 5,000m heats at the National Stadium on Thursday, with the final scheduled for Saturday.
It will be Kipyegon and Chebet's first clash since last year's Paris Olympics.
"I had my season best," said Kipyegon, who set a world record in the 1,500m in Eugene this season. "It was my first 5,000m race of the season so I'm happy.
"I have recovered well from the 1,500m win, so everything is good. I hope for great things on Saturday and am looking forward to it."
