Emmanuel Wanyonyi made his 1000m debut in sensational style, running 2:11.83* to break the long-standing world record at the Meeting International d&rsquo;Athl&eacute;tisme Herculis EBS in Monaco on Friday (10).
With that performance at the Wanda Diamond League meeting, the Olympic and world 800m champion took 0.13 off the world record of 2:11.96 set by his Kenyan compatriot Noah Ngeny in Rieti in 1999.
It was a night of record-breaking performances at the Louis II Stadium. As well as Wanyonyi&rsquo;s historic mark, meeting records and some of the fastest performances of all time were achieved by Agnes Ngetich, Julien Alfred, Collen Kebinatshipi, Masai Russell and Marileidy Paulino. Meeting records also fell in the field through Milti&aacute;dis Tent&oacute;glou in a long jump contest of record depth and Mondo Duplantis, while Nina Kennedy set a world-leading Oceanian record of 4.95m in the pole vault.
Wanyonyi followed the pacemakers as the first, Patryk Sieradzki, reached 400m on world record pace in 50.95 as planned. The second pacemaker Louey Ouerrat hit 800m in 1:45.11 before Wanyonyi took over and stormed towards the finish, chased hard by 2022 world 1500m champion Jake Wightman.
Wanyonyi charged over the line in 2:11.83, Wightman followed him in 2:12.77 to move to fifth on the world all-time list and world and Olympic medallist Djamel Sedjati was third in 2:13.94 as the top six all dipped under 2:15.
&ldquo;This was the first time I ran the 1000m and breaking the world record makes me so happy,&rdquo; said Wanyonyi. &ldquo;I want to thank the other athletes who pushed me to my limit.&rdquo;
Agnes Ngetich also surged up the world all-time list, winning the 3000m in a meeting record of 8:08.95 &ndash; the third-fastest performance in history.
The athlete who sits second on that all-time list is her Kenyan compatriot Faith Kipyegon &ndash; the world 1500m and mile record-holder who achieved her mile mark in Monaco in 2023. The multiple global gold medallist was also in 3000m action but, continuing her comeback after a hamstring injury following her 5000m win in Shanghai in May, she finished fourth this time in 8:24.21 behind Ngetich, Aleshign Baweke in a PB of 8:23.81 and Senayet Getachew in a PB of 8:24.02.
It was a dominant run by Ngetich in her first track race of the year &ndash; a year she started by winning the world cross-country title in Tallahassee in January. Ngetich set off right behind the pacemakers in Monaco and followed Olympic silver medallist Jess Hull, who helped to pace Kipyegon to her 8:07.04 3000m in Silesia in August, as she hit 1000m in 2:41.85.
Ngetich took control with three laps to go and passed 2000m in 5:24.08. She slipped off world record pace over the last couple of laps but managed to hold on to become the third-quickest runner in history.
<h2>Alfred No.3 all time with 21.51</h2>
A race between the three fastest women of the year produced the third-fastest athlete in history as Saint Lucia&rsquo;s Julien Alfred blazed to a world-leading meeting and national record of 21.51 (0.9m/s) in the 200m.

The Olympic 100m champion powered away to leave Adaejah Hodge, who started as the world leader on 21.68, and Olympic 200m champion Gabby Thomas in her wake &ndash; Hodge finishing second in 21.76 and Thomas, in her first Diamond League race in two years, placing third in 21.84.
Alfred now sits third on the world all-time list. Only Florence Griffith Joyner and Shericka Jackson have ever gone quicker.
&ldquo;I have been preparing for this for such a long time,&rdquo; said Alfred. &ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t realise how fast it was until I crossed the line. I looked at the clock and saw my time and that&rsquo;s why I was screaming like at the Olympics.&rdquo;
Botswana&rsquo;s Collen Kebinatshipi ran even quicker than he did to win his world title in Tokyo, clocking a national record of 43.44 to improve the Diamond League record he set in Paris less than two weeks ago by a tenth of a second.
He finished clear ahead of Jacory Patterson and world 400m hurdles champion Rai Benjamin, Kebinatshipi improving on the PB of 43.53 he set in Tokyo to move to joint sixth on the world all-time list. Patterson was second in 43.96 and Benjamin was third in 44.13.
Dominican Republic&rsquo;s Marileidy Paulino demonstrated her trademark finishing strength to take another win in the women&rsquo;s 400m, breaking the meeting record with 48.67. The Olympic champion judged her race to perfection, chasing Lurdes Gloria Manuel and Aaliyah Butler to the final bend before striding past them to take the win. Butler was second in a PB of 48.84 and Manuel was third in 49.44.
Another meeting record fell in the 100m hurdles as USA&rsquo;s Masai Russell maintained her superb run of form to win in 12.20 (-0.4m/s). The Olympic champion, who ran 12.14 at the Diamond League meeting in Xiamen to miss the world record by just 0.02, now owns four of the top seven performances in history. Alaysha Johnson was second in 12.38 and Nadine Visser was third in 12.49.
Jamaica&rsquo;s world champion Oblique Seville clinched the final win of the evening, taking the 100m in 9.88 ahead of world indoor 60m champion Jordan Anthony and Emmanuel Eseme. Seville, who holds the world lead of 9.82, finished second in his last Diamond League race in Eugene on Saturday but rebounded to edge Anthony in 9.92 and Eseme in 10.00.&nbsp;
Kenya&rsquo;s Olympic finalist Simon Koech dominated the 3000m steeplechase, winning in 8:03.35 ahead of Japan&rsquo;s Ryuji Miura in 8:10.30. The 5000m came down to a sprint finish, Switzerland's Dominic Lobalu winning a fierce fight with USA&rsquo;s Graham Blanks &ndash; 12:52.54 to 12:52.60.
<h2>Tentoglou soars 8.61m in competitive clash</h2>
The long jump featured record depth during a highly competitive contest. Greece&rsquo;s two-time Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou achieved the second-best winning mark of his career &ndash; 8.61m (0.0m/s), just four centimetres off his PB &ndash; in the final round to set a meeting record and world lead. He had led the competition from his very first jump of 8.48m and his impressive series also included leaps of 8.52m, 8.49m and 8.34m.

For the first time in history, five men jumped beyond 8.30m in a single competition. Olympic silver medallist Wayne Pinnock was second on 8.39m, world U20 record-holder Jorge Hodel&iacute;n was third on 8.38m, world indoor bronze medallist Bozhidar Sar&acirc;boyukov was fourth on 8.36m and Simon Ehammer, who started as the world leader after jumping 8.51m during the decathlon at G&ouml;tzis, finished fifth on 8.32m.
"When you jump 8.50m and then you jump 8.60m &ndash; that is just crazy. I do not think it happened many times in history," said&nbsp;Tentoglou, who improved a meeting record set by&nbsp;Iv&aacute;n Pedroso in 1995. "I know I am in really good shape and to be honest, I wanted a little bit more. The meeting record from Pedroso &ndash; that is the most important for me today."
The Herculis featured both women&rsquo;s and men&rsquo;s pole vault contests for the first time and they didn&rsquo;t disappoint, Nina Kennedy improving the Oceanian record to 4.95m and Mondo Duplantis clearing a meeting record of 6.07m.
Kennedy managed all heights from 4.52m to 4.82m on her first attempts. After one failed attempt at 4.87m, and with the competition won as Amanda Moll knocked the bar twice after passing to that height following one failed attempt at 4.82m, Kennedy had the bar moved straight to 4.95m. She managed that on her first try, too, to move to joint fifth on the world all-time list before taking three attempts at 5.00m. Moll was second thanks to her 4.72m clearance.
The men&rsquo;s pole vault was not a Diamond League discipline but Sweden&rsquo;s world record-holder Mondo Duplantis &ndash; now a Monaco resident &ndash; still put on a show. He cleared 5.70m, 5.85m and a meeting record of 6.07m on his first attempts before taking three unsuccessful attempts at 6.15m.
Cuba&rsquo;s Leyanis P&eacute;rez Hern&aacute;ndez achieved the leap of her life to win the triple jump, surpassing 15-metres with a legal wind for the first time with 15.06m (-0.1m/s) in the final round.&nbsp;
Before that, the world champion sat in second place with her opening jump of 14.80m &ndash; a mark she followed with four fouls. World indoor bronze medallist Saly Sarr had the lead at that point with 14.85m from the fourth round, but they both had more to give. Sarr improved to a PB of 14.99m (0.7m/s) in the final round but P&eacute;rez Hern&aacute;ndez had the next jump and she maintained her composure to soar 15.06m, adding eight centimetres to her two-year-old PB to become the latest member of the 15-metre club. Sarr finished second with that 14.99m PB, while Olympic champion Thea LaFond was third on 14.79m (-0.9m/s).
China&rsquo;s world U20 champion Yan Ziyi also saved her best for last, winning the javelin with 68.75m in the final round. The 18-year-old, who threw 71.74m in Xiamen to move to second on the world all-time list, held the lead from the second round as she opened with a foul before managing 64.60m. Two-time world U20 champion Adriana Vilago&scaron; was second on 63.18m.
The men&rsquo;s high jump was won by Ukraine&rsquo;s world indoor champion Oleh Doroshchuk thanks to his clearance of 2.32m. Kimani Jack cleared 2.30m to finish second, while Sarvesh Anil Kushare was third on 2.26m.

Richard Omaya Atuya and Ruth Gitonga Mwihaki claimed victory at the Grossglockner Mountain Run in Austria, leading Kenyan podium sweeps at the eighth race of the WMRA Mountain Running World Cup on Sunday (5).
The 13.3km course, featuring 1300 metres of ascent, took runners through a constantly changing landscape. Leaving Heiligenblut behind, athletes climbed through forests and waterfalls before emerging into alpine meadows and the high mountain terrain overlooking the glacier. The final kilometres led towards the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-H&ouml;he and the race's most famous feature: the legendary 522 steps that provide a fittingly brutal conclusion to one of Austria's classic mountain races.
The men's race took shape early on. By the time the athletes reached the Leiter Waterfall, around six kilometres into the course, Atuya had opened a gap of around 50 metres on the rest of the field.
Behind him, a small chasing group formed, with the remainder of the contenders still within sight as the race climbed through the forests above Heiligenblut before emerging into the alpine meadows and the higher slopes overlooking the Pasterze Glacier.
Atuya never looked in danger and continued to increase his advantage on the climb to the Kaiser-Franz-Josefs-H&ouml;he, eventually taking victory in 1:10:20. Ephantus Njeri followed in second in 1:12:33, while Elijah Kamau Kariuki completed the Kenyan top three in 1:14:26.
The battle behind the podium remained close throughout the race. Italy&rsquo;s Tiziano Moia delivered one of the strongest finishes of the day, moving up from around sixth position at the start of the final climb to claim fourth place in 1:14:38, just 12 seconds behind Kariuki. Germany&rsquo;s Lukas Ehrle continued his encouraging return from injury with fifth place in 1:14:50.
The women's race remained closely contested through the opening kilometres. A leading group stayed together through the forests above Heiligenblut and was still largely intact as the athletes passed the Leiter Waterfall.
It was on the climb towards Margaritzenstausee and the Sandersee that the race began to stretch out. By the time the athletes reached the high alpine terrain overlooking the Pasterze Glacier, the gaps between the leading runners had largely been established and would remain unchanged through to the finish.
Gitonga gradually moved clear to secure victory in 1:22:29, confirming her strong form as the World Cup season reaches its halfway stage. Jedidah Sang followed in second in 1:23:26, while Gloria Chebet completed the Kenyan podium in 1:24:34.
The European challenge was led by athletes from Great Britain and Italy. While Kirsty Skye Dickson and Ellen Crombie secured fifth and sixth places respectively for Great Britain, Italy placed three athletes inside the top 10 through Benedetta Broggi, Arianna Dentis and Arianna Del Pino.

Meeting records by Jamal Britt, Masai Russell and Nikki Hiltz were among the highlights as fierce battles and breakthroughs lit up the Prefontaine Classic, this season&rsquo;s ninth Wanda Diamond League meeting, in Eugene, USA, on Saturday (4).
The competition closed with mile wins by Hiltz and Cameron Myers, while teenager Tate Taylor won the 200m on his Diamond League debut and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden took top spot in a stacked 100m. Tara Davis-Woodhall won a competitive long jump contest and Leonardo Fabbri launched a world lead in the shot put.
USA&rsquo;s Britt continued his fantastic run of form in the 110m hurdles by breaking the meeting record with a PB of 12.86 (1.8m/s) &ndash; a performance that moves him to fifth on the world all-time list.
With a strong finish, he passed recent world record-breaker Ja'Kobe Tharp &ndash; who sits top of that all-time list with the 12.75 he clocked during the NCAA Championships at Hayward Field last month &ndash; to win by 0.05.
It is Britt&rsquo;s fourth race under 13 seconds this season and it improves on the PB of 12.89 he set to win at the Diamond League meeting in Paris. He becomes the third athlete in history to ever dip under 12.90 more than once. Tharp, meanwhile, achieved the third-fastest time of his career behind his two NCAA races last month.
USA&rsquo;s Olympic champion Russell also impressed as she matched the meeting record to win the 100m hurdles, clocking 12.24 (0.8m/s) &ndash; the fifth-fastest time of her career.
She beat Nigeria&rsquo;s Tobi Amusan by a tenth of a second &ndash; Amusan back on the track on which she set her world record of 12.12 in 2022, a mark that Russell was just 0.02 shy of in Xiamen in May. Former world record-holder Kendra Harrison, who set the Eugene meeting record in 2016, was also in action and finished eighth in 12.66.
Kayinsola Ajayi won the non-Diamond League 100m, three weeks on from his NCAA title victory on the same track. This time the 21-year-old clocked 9.84 (0.1m/s) to equal his own Nigerian record, getting a great start and maintaining his advantage to beat Jamaica&rsquo;s world champion Oblique Seville who clocked 9.89.
Tate Taylor also continued his winning ways at Hayward Field &ndash; the venue that will host the World U20 Championships in August. The 18-year-old won a 100m and 200m double at the US U20 Championships last month and followed that with a statement 200m win against strong senior opposition on his Diamond League debut &ndash; improving his PB to 19.75 (-0.9m/s) to move to third on the world U20 all-time list.
Botswana&rsquo;s Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo finished fast but he couldn&rsquo;t catch Taylor and had to settle for second place in 19.93. Makanakaishe Charamba was third in 20.11.

Triple world champion Jefferson-Wooden retained her Prefontaine Classic 100m crown, beating 2023 world champion Sha'Carri Richardson by just 0.01 in 10.78 (0.0m/s). World leader Adaejah Hodge was another 0.01 back in third.
Collen Kebinatshipi narrowly beat Rai Benjamin in a 400m clash between reigning world champions &ndash; Botswana&rsquo;s world 400m gold medallist Kebinatshipi clocking 44.00 to edge USA&rsquo;s 400m hurdles star Benjamin by 0.11, the latter, running from lane nine, clocking a PB for the flat one-lap event.&nbsp;
<h2>Mile wins for Hiltz and Myers</h2>
USA&rsquo;s two-time world indoor medallist Nikki Hiltz kicked to victory in the mile, winning in a world-leading meeting record of 4:17.49 as Faith Kipyegon was beaten in either a 1500m or mile race for the first time in more than five years.
Hiltz held off world silver medallist Dorcus Ewoi, who clocked a PB of 4:17.62 for second place, while world record-holder and multiple global gold medallist Kipyegon was third in 4:17.80. Kipyegon later explained how she had been dealing with a hamstring injury since the Diamond League meeting in Shanghai, where she won the promotional 5000m in 14:24.14.
Australia&rsquo;s Cameron Myers ran an Oceanian record of 3:46.06 to win the Bowerman Mile, judging his race to perfection to finish clear ahead of Yared Nuguse (3:46.61) and Ethan Strand (3:46.97) as the top seven all dipped under 3:48.
A fierce 800m fight between the world champion and the Olympic champion was won by Kenya&rsquo;s Lilian Odira as she overpowered Great Britain&rsquo;s Keely Hodgkinson in the closing stages &ndash; 1:56.19 to 1:56.73. Olympic champion Hodgkinson &ndash; who was racing with cut knees and strapping following a fall the day before she flew to the US &ndash; held back as the race got off to a fast start and then she moved to the fore. But Odira was waiting for her moment to strike and the world champion kicked past her rival down the home straight to clinch her first Diamond League victory.
Kenya&rsquo;s world champion Faith Cherotich strode to a clear win in the 3000m steeplechase, moving away from Bahrain&rsquo;s Olympic champion Winfred Yavi in the closing stages to triumph in 8:51.74. Yavi was second in 8:52.84, while Marwa Bouzayani was third in a Tunisian record of 8:54.32. Doris Lemngole also dipped under nine minutes, running a PB of 8:57.89 &ndash; the best ever time for fourth place.
The women&rsquo;s two miles was won by Ethiopia&rsquo;s Aleshign Baweke in 9:20.02.
<h2>Fabbri throws 22.74m</h2>
Italy&rsquo;s Leonardo Fabbri had the shot put won with his opening throw. The two-time world medallist, who threw 22.50m in February, improved to 22.74m in Eugene and his rivals had no response. He eventually won by 58 centimetres ahead of Olympic bronze medallist Rajindra Campbell who threw 22.16m, also in the first round.
The women&rsquo;s shot put was also won with an opening throw, USA&rsquo;s two-time world gold medallist Chase Jackson managing 20.56m from her first attempt to win ahead of world champion and world leader Jessica Schilder (20.11m).
Lithuania&rsquo;s world discus record-holder Mykolas Alekna opened his Diamond League campaign after injury with a win, throwing 71.06m in the fifth round to beat 2022 world champion Kristjan Čeh with 69.94m.
China&rsquo;s world bronze medallist Zhang Jiale, who threw a world U20 record of 77.24m last year, improved her PB to 77.94m to win the hammer &ndash; that mark moving the 19-year-old to 10th on the world all-time list. Canada&rsquo;s Olympic and two-time world champion Camryn Rogers led the contest until that final-round effort by Zhang and finished second with her opening attempt of 77.81m.
The top two in the women&rsquo;s long jump were separated by a single centimetre. Larissa Iapichino added one centimetre to the Italian record held by her mother, Fiona May, since 1998 &ndash; jumping 7.12m (1.8m/s) in the first round. But USA&rsquo;s Olympic and world champion Tara Davis-Woodhall responded with 7.13m (0.8m/s) in the next round and that clinched her the win. Monae' Nichols also surpassed seven metres with a wind-aided 7.05m (3.0m/s) for third place.

<h2>Meeting record for Katzberg</h2>
A series of non-Diamond League contests kicked off the Prefontaine Classic on Friday (3) as the meeting was held over two days to coincide with Fourth of July celebrations.
The first day&rsquo;s action was headlined by Ethan Katzberg&rsquo;s hammer win as Canada&rsquo;s Olympic and two-time world champion threw a meeting record of 83.33m in the second round, achieving the fourth-best winning mark of his career. All four of his valid throws in Eugene surpassed 80 metres. Rudy Winkler was second with 81.12m.
USA&rsquo;s Sandi Morris won the pole vault (4.85m), while Valarie Sion won the discus (68.64m).
Brandon Miller won the 800m ahead of Cooper Lutkenhaus, 1:43.68 to 1:44.82, while Parker Wolfe clinched two-mile victory (8:10.13).
