Olympic hopeful Jess Hull smashed her own Oceania record in the 1500m at a special Diamond League meeting, but it was beaten by a world-record run.
Australian Olympic hopeful Jess Hull smashed her Oceania record in the 1500 metres on a special night in Paris when two world benchmarks were broken.
The two landmarks were shattered within an hour of each other, with double Olympic champion Kipyegon improving her own mark by 0.07 seconds after world champion Mahuchikh eclipsed one of the oldest women’s marks by clearing 2.10 metres in the high jump. She kicked at the bell to open a gap over 27-year-old Hull, striding clear to take seven-hundredths of a second off the world record she set last year in Florence.“I knew the world record was possible because I recently ran very fast in Kenya,” said Kipyegon, who clocked 3:53.98 at her home Olympic trials.
But Olyslagers, the 27-year-old NSW jumper who is one of Australia’s big hopes at the Games, failed three times at 2.03m, but Mahuchikh cleared it at the second attempt.
