Ingebrigtsen revenge and missed world record
Emmanuel Wanyonyi narrowly missed the world record in the 800m at the Diamond League meeting in Lausanne. Meanwhile, Jakob Ingebrigtsen's revenge was successful.
The Olympic champion from Kenya clocked a time of 1:41.11 minutes, which was only two tenths faster than the world record set by his compatriot David Rudisha (1:40.91). Wanyonyi is now tied with Wilson Kipketer for second place on the all-time list. In Paris, Wanyonyi had beaten the Canadian world champion Marco Arop by one hundredth of a second.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen, meanwhile, took revenge for his painful defeat in the 1,500 m at the Olympic Games. There the Norwegian collapsed and finished fourth, in Switzerland he was faster than Olympic champion Cole Hocker from the USA with a time of 3:27.83 minutes.
