She also ran to become the first woman to run under 14 minutes towards the end of the race. – This is intense. All the way in. It will be a world record! She gives everything she has. The latter must be pressed out. What does the clock say, says news commentator Jann Post. In the end she ran in to 14.00.21. It was a record improvement of 4.99 seconds. – World record by exactly five seconds. So close to going under. What a record race, says Post after the finish line. The Ethiopian runner was assisted for seven laps, but then she had to do the race herself. She was able to do that like no one before her. – The goal was a world record. I am so happy, says Tsegay to news. The Ethiopian runner also beat the time by 12 seconds when she set a new world record. She says that she only thought about following the light hare at the end of the race. Earlier this season, Kenyan Faith Kipyegon set the 5000m world record with 14.05.20. It has now been beaten at the end of the season. Beatrice Chebet was second and ran the third fastest time of all time.
