Letesenbet Gidey breaks two-day-old 10,000m world record in super spikes
The extraordinary spate of athletics world records in the super spikes era continued on Tuesday as Letesenbet Gidey smashed the two-day-old women’s 10,000m best, set by Sifan Hassan on Sunday, by more than five seconds. Gidey, who was running on the same Hengelo track where Hassan set her world record, always looked confident. For much of the race - which doubled as the Ethiopian trials - she churned out 72-second laps before powering home in a final lap of 63 seconds, despite having to weave between other runners, to finish in 29:01.03.
