Fans yearning for elite athletics competitions on Friday were delighted with the Diamond League setting in Monaco, where even the world record fell.
The men’s 5000m race made history Joshua Cheptegei from Uganda. 23-year-old ladder for more than 22 sec. improved the best result of his career and finished in 12 minutes. 35.36 sec. Kenya’s second ladder ran in Monaco Nicolas Kimeli (12: 51.78), the third was his compatriot Jacobas Kropas (13: 11.32).
Chheptegei not only won the race with an impressive lead, he also became a world record holder. The Ugandan athlete improved the legendary Ethiopian Kenenisos Bekele Outcome. He in 2004 traveled distance in 12 min. 37.35 sec.
Last year, J. Cheptegei became the world champion in the 10,000m race and in 2017. He won the World Cup silver in the same distance. At a distance of 5,000 m, the Ugandan representative’s achievements have so far been more modest.
Monaco also achieved some of the best results of the season in the world. They were captured by a Swede Armandas Duplantis (pole vault, 6m), Spanish representative Orlando ortega (110m hurdles, 13.11 s), American Danube Brazier (800m run, 1: 43.15 min.), Representative of Kenya Hellen obiri (5000m run, 14:22, 12 min.), Norwegian Karsten warholm (400m hurdles, 47.10 sec.), Representative of Kenya Timothy Cheruiyotas (1500m run, 3:28.45 min.), American Lynna irby (400 m, 50.50 s), American Noah lylesas (200m run, 19.76 sec.), Representative from Kenya Faith kipyegon (1000 m race, 2: 29.15) and a Moroccan athlete Soufiane El Bakkali (3000 m hurdles, 8: 08.04).
The next stage of the Diamond League is August 23. scheduled in Stockholm (Sweden).
