Faith Kipyegon pushes pace and pulls away to defend 1,500-meter title at world championships

Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon pushed the pace early and pulled away down the stretch to defend her 1,500-meter title at the world championships.

“This is a great season for me,” Kipyegon said. “I told myself, ‘You are the strongest and just keep going.’”

Morocco’s Soufiane El Bakkali rose to the occasion once again at a big meet in defending his steeplechase world title. For Lamecha Girma, the world record holder in steeplechase, another silver medal. He’s finished runner-up three times at worlds and at the Tokyo Games to El Bakkali. It was a tough night for former world champions Dalilah Muhammad and Steven Gardiner . Muhammad, struggling with injuries this season, couldn’t advance out of the semifinals, while Gardiner collapsed to the track rounding the final bend and grabbed at his leg.
