Kenya's Faith Kipyegon on Friday shattered the world record in the women's 1500m after clocking a stunning 3:49.11 at the Golden Gala, the third Wanda Diamond League meeting of the season, in Florence, Italy.
The two-time Olympic and two-time world champion was already the second-fastest women's 1500m runner of all time thanks to the 3:50.37 she clocked in Monaco in August last year.
