BRUSSELS: Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen broke a 24-year-old world record in the rarely run 2,000m in the Diamond League meeting in Brussels today.
Ingebrigtsen, who set a world record at two miles in Paris in June, said he had been helped by pace-makers going a little further than expected and now had a thirst for further records, from his speciality of 1,500m eventually to as much as a marathon. Among other stand-out performances in the penultimate Diamond League meeting before the finals in Eugene next weekend, were Jamaican sprinter Shericka Jackson in the 200m and Japanese javelin thrower Haruka Kitaguchi, both crowned world champions last month.
Kitaguchi threw a 2023 world-leading distance of 67.38m in the final round to secure victory against a strong women’s javelin line-up.
