BRUSSELS, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen broke a 24-year-old world record in the rarely run 2,000 metres in the Diamond League meeting in Brussels on Friday. "I think I'm at a point in my career where I can challenge all the records as well. Kitaguchi threw a 2023 world-leading distance of 67.38 metres in the final round to secure victory against a strong women's javelin line-up. In the 400 metre hurdles, Dutch world champion Femke Bol destroyed the opposition to set a meeting record of 52.11 seconds.

Kipyegon shaved almost an entire second off the previous mark of 3:50.07 set by Ethiopia's Genzebe Dibaba in 2015. The world record completes the 29-year-old's collection of feats, adding to her two Olympic 1,500m golds and the 2017 and 2022 world titles, Commonwealth Games gold medal from 2014 and three Diamond League titles. Dina Asher-Smith, who won the world 200 metres title in Doha in 2019, pulled out in the build-up to the race. Spaniard Mohamed Katir produced a lung-busting performance to win the 5,000m with a world leading 12:52.09, with world record holder Joshua Cheptegei coming in fourth.
