RESULTS<\/a> – FLASH QUOTES<\/a><\/strong> – PHOTOGALLERY<\/a><\/strong>

The women\u2019s 5000 meters, featuring the second-fastest time in history by Beatrice Chebet<\/strong>, and the men\u2019s 100 meters with a world-leading performance by Trayvon Bromell<\/strong>, light up the evening at the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea \u2013 Presented by IP<\/strong> in Rome<\/strong>, the fifth leg of the Wanda Diamond League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenya\u2019s Beatrice Chebet was phenomenal: with a time of 14:03.69, she delivered the second-fastest performance ever, setting a Kenyan national record and a Golden Gala record, just over three seconds off Gudaf Tsegay\u2019s world record from 2023 (14:00.21; Tsegay finished fifth today in 14:24.86). Chebet was followed by Ethiopia\u2019s Freweyni Hailu (14:19.33) and Italy\u2019s local heroes Nadia Battocletti, who smashed her national record by over eight seconds with a time of 14:23.15 \u2013 the second-fastest time ever by a European. The men\u2019s 100 meters was also of the highest level: no one had run faster this year than American Trayvon Bromell, who clocked a remarkable 9.84 (+1.1 m\/s). Also finishing under ten seconds was Cameroon\u2019s Emmanuel Eseme (9.99), while Kenya\u2019s Ferdinand Omanyala was third in 10.01, followed by Americans Brandon Hicklin (10.04) and Fred Kerley (10.06).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the men\u2019s 1500 meters, France\u2019s Azeddine Habz<\/strong> set the outdoor world-leading time for the year with 3:29.72. In the women\u2019s discus, American Valarie Allman<\/strong> set a meeting record with a throw of 69.21 meters. In the shot put, New Zealander Tom Walsh<\/strong> takes the win with 21.89 meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were thrills in the jumping events as well. The long jump was decided in the Final 3: Italy\u2019s Mattia Furlani took the lead with 8.13 (-0.5 m\/s), but Australia\u2019s Liam Adcock<\/strong> responded with 8.34 (-0.2) to claim the win. The men\u2019s high jump was won by South Korea\u2019s Woo<\/strong> Sang-hyeok with 2.32 meters. In the women\u2019s pole vault, victory went to American Sandi Morris<\/strong> with 4.80 meters, while Jamaica\u2019s Shanieka Ricketts<\/strong> took the win in the women\u2019s triple jump with 14.64 (-0.7). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
