Olympic champs Kipyegon and Wanyonyi win their Diamond League Final races
BRUSSELS (AP) - Olympic middle-distance champions Faith Kipyegon and Emmanuel Wanyonyi won their races in the Diamond League Final on Saturday on a good night for Kenya.
Kipyegon, unbeaten in the women’s 1,500 meters for more than three years, timed 3:54.75, snipping 0.58 off the 21-year-old Memorial Van Damme meet record.
"The world record was not on my mind," said the record-holder. "My goal was to finish my Diamond League season in a good way. It was good race but definitely not an easy one."
World road mile champion Diribe Welteji was second and Olympic silver medallist Jessica Hull third.
