After smashing the IAAF World Challenge Meeting record in women's 3,000m steeplechase in Berlin last weekend, Kenya's Norah Jeruto continued with her late season top form with a victory in Croatia's capital, Zagreb on Tuesday night.

At the Zurich IAAF Diamond League steeplechase final, the 21-year-old finished third in 9:05.31, then her lifetime best, behind compatriot Beatrice Chepkoech and Bahraini Ruth Jebet, the Trophy winner.
