Ethiopian Tsegay set a blistering pace from the start to win in 14 minutes 00.21 seconds, sprinting down the final metres to roars from the crowd as she shaved roughly five seconds off of Kenyan Faith Kipyegon\u2019s previous mark. She had no sooner written her name into the record books than Sweden\u2019s Duplantis soared over 6.23 metres to break the world record for a seventh time, bringing the house down after winning his second world championship title in Budapest weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>Duplantis, who cleared a centimetre higher than his previous best on the first try, said he would try to savour the moment rather than getting fixated on his gold medal chances at the 2024 Paris Games. \u201cI\u2019m not thinking about next year that much \u2013 I\u2019m going to enjoy this moment and enjoy this with my family tonight,\u201d he said. \u201cNext year\u2019s next year.\u201d Shericka Jackson came off the turn with a massive lead to retain her women\u2019s 200 metres Diamond League championship title in 21.57, but came short of her goal to break Florence Griffith-Joyner\u2019s world record. The Jamaican Jackson won the 100 metres Diamond League championship a day earlier and finished more than half a second ahead of Ivorian Marie-Josee Ta Lou on Sunday, as Anthonique Strachan of the Bahamas took third in 22.16.<\/p>\n<p>The Olympic champion Andre De Grasse of Canada powered through the final stretch to win the men\u2019s race in 19.76, as the United States\u2019 Tokyo silver medallist Kenny Bednarek finished second in 19.95. American Erriyon Knighton took third in 19.97. \u201cIt\u2019s been a challenging season, but I gotta finish strong,\u201d said De Grasse. \u201cNext year\u2019s a big year obviously with the Olympics, so I wanted to try to just give it all to try to see where I\u2019m at going into next season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>American Athing Mu shook off the disappointment of her third-place finish at worlds to win the women\u2019s 800 metres in 1:54.97, holding off Britain\u2019s Keely Hodgkinson, who finished second in 1:55.19. Jamaican Natoya Goule-Toppin was third in 1:55.96. \u201cI\u2019m happy that I could rejuvenate after worlds,\u201d said Mu. \u201c(I was) coming here with a clean mind and ready to go.\u201d Kenyan Emmanuel Wanyonyi upset the world champion Marco Arop in a blistering 1:42.80 in the men\u2019s race, the fastest time of the year, wresting the lead in the final 50 metres of the race after finishing second in Budapest. The Canadian Arop finished five hundredths of a second slower and Algerian Djamel Sedjati took third in 1:43.06.<\/p>\n<p>Dutch World Champion Femke Bol collected her third Diamond League championship with a confident 51.98 performance in the 400 metres hurdles, as American Shamier Little took second in 53.45 and Jamaican Rushell Clayton finished third in 53.56. The Ukrainian world champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh cleared 2.03 metres on the second try to win the high jump while American Joe Kovacs got the best of his compatriot and rival Ryan Crouser, winning the men\u2019s shot put with 22.93 on his fourth throw.<\/p>\n<p><!-- AI CONTENT END 2 -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EUGENE: Gudaf Tsegay smashed the women\u2019s 5,000 metres world record and Armand Duplantis raised the bar again for the men\u2019s pole vault on Sunday, as the season-ending Eugene Diamond League meet concluded on a high.
