This Week In Track and Field: Faith Kipyegon Breaks Her Own 1500m World Record; Yaroslava Mahuchikh Takes Down A 37-Year-Old High Jump World Record; 3 Men Break 1:42 For 800M + Our Review of SPRINT
Description
We are back with another edition of This Week In Track and Field after a bit of a break due to the U.S. Olympic Trials.
The Diamond League returned to action and brought some spectacular results right away as we saw two world records in Faith Kipyegon breaking her own world record in the women’s 1,500m in 3:49 .04 and Ukraine’s Yaroslava Mahuchikh taking down a 37-year-old mark in the women’s high jump to 2.10 m (That’s 6-10 3/4). We had a crazy men’s 800m that has shaken up that distance ahead of the Paris Olympics
Plus, we review the things we liked + things that could have used improvement in the making of SPRINT on Netflix.
