- Daniel Komen’s 3,000m record bettered by three seconds
- Armand Duplantis raises pole vault world record to 6.26m
Jakob Ingebrigtsen shattered the longstanding 3,000m world record by more than three seconds at the Silesia Diamond League meet in Chorzow, Poland, at which Armand Duplantis took the pole vault to new heights.
Ingebrigtsen finished in a time of 7min 17.55sec, erasing the record set by Kenya’s Daniel Komen in 1996 when he ran 7:20.67 in Rieti, Italy. The Norwegian’s previous best time over the distance came in September last year when he was nearly three seconds slower than Komen’s mark.
