Seven World Leads, 13 National records, and a fantastic night of track and field! Here’s a synopsis of the plethora of fine events at the Stade Louis II on Friday night, July 20, 2018.

Chepkoech will get 50k
MONACO (MON): Beatrice Chepkoech broke the world record to win the 3000m steeplechase at the EBS Herculis meeting clocking 8:44.32 at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Monaco. The Kenyan won by more than 16 seconds, having gone through the 2000-metre point in 5:49.81, following an opening kilometre of 2:55.23. Chepkoech, who finished fourth at the 2016 Olympic Games and at the 2017 World Championships, held the previous world-leading mark with her 8:59.36 clocking at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Paris. It was first night of athletics when sub 9 in women and sub 8 in men steeple was achieved. The World record bonus for Chepkoech is 50 000 USD. It was her 23rd race at the distance and 9th steeple women World record since 2001 when the event was introduced as World record event. “I wanted to break the World record, that was the plan from beginning of the season. And I was aware the biggest chance will be in Monaco due to weather, crowds and the whole environment. And this plan worked well. I knew I m running fast splits, but I was not worried, I felt strong during the race. I was thinking maybe I can break 8.50 but not at all was I dreaming about 8.44. And this time still could be improved Im sure. Maybe my next target could be to run under 8.40. It is great feeling I brought back to Kenya the steeple women record, Im very proud of it. And that after six years of running and three years with steeple.” She is the first Kenyan female with steeple WR.
6 World leads added to WR
MONACO (MON, July 20): The best meeting of 2018 (as described by many observers) so far EBS Herculis saw a world record for Beatrice Chepkoech in the steeplechase and superfast times for Shaunae Miller-Uibo (400m), Nijel Amos (800m) and Timothy Cheruiyot (1500m). Also setting world leads were Noah Lyles (200m), Soufiane El Bakkali (3000m steeplechase) and WL was equaled by Danil Lysenko (high jump). In total 15 983 spectators.
