AFTER A LOSS in her season-opening race in Florence, Faith Kipyegon ran off a half-dozen victories to finish off her campaign, taking both the Olympic and DLF titles. The 27-year-old Kenyan was supreme on the clock, her world-leading 3:51.07 missing the WR by a second and moving her to No. 2 ever. Overall, she produced 4 of history’s 10 fastest times…
DESPITE HER OPENING WIN against Kipyegon, Sifan Hassan was no match for her rival, losing the other 3 times they met. Hassan split 1-1 with Laura Muir, but while the Briton won the crucial Olympic match silver to bronze, the Dutch star had a far superior DL season. Just superior enough to reverse their Tokyo finish…
HASSAN NOW HAS 59 career points, trailing only Maryam Jamal (69) and Doina Melinte (63)…
THE U.S. HAD A SURPRISE pair of first-time Rankers, Josette Norris (No. 6) and Helen Schlachtenhaufen (No. 10) scoring on the basis of strong post-Games sequences.
