Just 80 minutes after compatriot and fellow Olympic champion Beatrice Chebet made history at the Prefontaine Classic, Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon re-entered the record books by breaking her own world 1500m record with 3:48.68 at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Eugene on Saturday.

The multiple world and Olympic champion had made history of sorts last week by producing the fastest mile performance in history, albeit in an unofficial and unratifiable exhibition event.
