Faith Kipyegon’s pace, the one that she’s used to set three different world records at three different distances this season, also brought her a second-straight 1,500-meter title on a muggy Tuesday night at world championships.
BUDAPEST, Hungary — Faith Kipyegon’s race strategy isn’t all that complicated. What works is that she’s among the few who can execute it.Her pace, the one that she’s used to set three different world records at three different distances this season, also brought her a second-straight 1,500-meter title on a muggy Tuesday night at world championships.
The Dutch runner Hassan will be in the field, too, and running her third event at worlds, much as she did at the Olympics two years ago where she won two golds and a bronze.“Before I decided to these three events, I did not look at how fast the girls are this year,” said Hassan, who regrouped for a medal Tuesday after a fall near the finish in the 10,000 meters over the weekend cost her a chance at one.
“I still aim to win gold at the world championships or Olympic Games,” Girma said. “Nothing has changed in my goals. Maybe, I become even more motivated for next year.” “I don’t know if I have a fairy godmother or something, or my ancestors had some say in it, but I was able to do something tonight that I didn’t think was possible yet,” Tausaga said. “No one was expecting me and I just showed up.”
It was a tough night for former world champions Dalilah Muhammad and Steven Gardiner . Muhammad, struggling with injuries this season, couldn’t advance out of the semifinals, while Gardiner collapsed to the track rounding the final bend and grabbed his leg.
