Diamond League: Jessica Hull Breaks Women's 2,000m World Record
Jessica Hull showcased a fearsome form ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games as the Australian set a world record of five minutes and 19.70 seconds in the women's 2,000m at the Diamond League meeting. The previous world record of this non-Olympic event was 5:21.56 achieved by Francine Niyonsaba of Burundi in September 2021. Having followed closely as the pacemakers led through the first 1,000m in 2:39.88, Hull stayed focused and the trackside lights indicating world record pace never left her side, reports Xinhua. Hull followed the United States' Heather MacLean as the second pacemaker stepped aside, and then when MacLean left the track too, it was Hull against the clock. Storming away from the lights as she left the final bend, Hull crossed the finish line in 5:19.70 to take almost two seconds off the previous world record.
