Ingebrigtsen smashes Komen's decades old 3000m world record

SPORTS 25.08.2024

Norwegian track star Jakob Ingebrigtsen destroyed the 28-year-old 3,000 metres world record on Sunday timing 7min 17.55sec at the Diamond League meeting in Silesia.

Text size:

The 23-year-old held his hands to his face in astonishment as he realised by how much he had eclipsed Kenya's Daniel Komen's 1996 mark of 7:20.67 over a distance which figures neither at Olympics nor world championships.

The recently anointed 5,000m Olympic champion finished well clear of Ethiopian duo, Berihu Aregawi (7:21.28) and Yomif Kejelcha (7:28.44).
