Ten days after her silver medal at the Worlds-2023 in Budapest, the American Valarie Allman improved her best world performance of the year on the disc by about twenty centimeters at 70.47 meters, Sunday afternoon in Berlin.
Surprise on the last throw in Hungary by her compatriot Laulauga Tausaga (69.49 against 69.23), Allman consoled herself on Sunday with a new contest beyond 70 meters at the Olympic stadium in Berlin, at 70.47 m or one meter below his personal best (71.46 m).
Vice-world champion in the 10,000m in Budapest and record holder for the distance, Ethiopian Letesenbet Gidey tried on Sunday afternoon to recover her 5,000m world record, owned by Kenyan Faith Kipyegon since June 14: 05.20 during the Diamond League stage in Paris.
Gidey won the race in 14:08.79, the 4th fastest time in history for the distance, but fell short of Kipyegon’s world record by almost four seconds.
