Athletics: Kipyegon Breaks World 1500m Record In Paris
Paris Diamond League: Returning to the scene of her record-breaking mark over 5000m last year, Kenyan middle-distance runner Faith Kipyegon broke her own world 1500m record at the Paris Diamond League.
Kipyegon clocked 3:49.04, taking 0.07 off the world record she set last year in Florence, in the women's 1500m final race in the French capital on Sunday.
"I knew the world record was possible because I recently ran very fast in Kenya. I was coming here to just run my race and to see what shape I’m in to defend my title at the Olympics," said Kipyegon, who clocked 3:53.98 at Kenya’s Olympic Trials.
