Faith eyes world record in Brussels

Kenya's Faith Kipyegon celebrates after winning the women's 1000metre event during the Diamond League Athletics Meeting at The Louis II Stadium in Monaco on August 14, 2020

Reigning Olympic 1,500m champion Faith Chepngetich has set her sights on the world 1000m record at the Memorial Van Damme, a Wanda Diamond League meeting in Brussels next Friday.

Chepngetich, who came up 0.17 shy of Svetlana Masterkova's 2:28.98 record at the Diamond League meeting in Monaco earlier this month, will give it another try in the same stadium and meeting where the record was set in 1996.
