Kipyegon's two golds from Budapest cap a remarkable season in which she broke three world records - in the 1,500m, mile and 5,000m. Making history today, winning two gold medals in a championships is what I was dreaming for this season," the 29-year-old said. "I have been patient waiting to be able to break world records and win double golds. The 30-year-old endured a gruelling triple challenge in Budapest, opening the worlds with a heartbreaking fall just 20 metres from the finish line in the 10,000m. I really felt amazing on the last lap and it was only in the last 20 metres I couldn't hold on.

Hungary itself has a woeful world championship record, having never won a gold medal. However, World Athletics says ticket sales have been "strong" and the purpose-built 30,000-capacity stadium, which boasts the same bouncy Mondo track that contributed to so many fast times in Tokyo. Still only 29, she is appearing in her sixth world championships seeking a third gold to add to two Olympic 1,500 metres titles. Norwegian duo Jakob Ingebrigtsen (1,500m) and Karsten Warholm (400m hurdles) are among the big names expected to triumph in the longer distances. With sprinters Marlies Goehr and Marita Koch - whose 1985 400m world record of 47.60 remains much quicker than any current athlete - leading the way, the original "state-sponsored" doping regime of East Germany topped the table with 10 golds.

Athletics Hassan takes London Marathon title in stunning debut

LONDON, April 23 (Reuters) - Dutchwoman Sifan Hassan won the London Marathon on Sunday in a dramatic debut after falling back with an early injury, beating Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir and defending champion Yelamzerf Yehualaw in what organisers said was the best ever elite women's field for the event. Hassan finished in two hours, 18 minutes and 34 seconds with a desperate sprint in the last 500 metres. The 30-year-old middle-distance athlete looked to be in pain around the hip flexor just under an hour in, falling behind as she stopped and stretched, but she caught up again with the leading pack with just over six kms to go. Hassan has snatched victory from the jaws of defeat before: in the 1500 metres at the Tokyo Olympics she took a hard tumble, picked herself up and charged ahead to win gold.
