Hull posts 5th fastest 1500m time ever! | 01:11 Jessica Hull — and most of the athletics world — was in disbelief after the Australian produced one of the fastest 1500m runs of all time on Monday morning.
Watch selected NRL, AFL, SSN games plus every F1 qualifying session and race live in 4K on Kayo. New to Kayo?Hull’s time of 3:55.97 is the fifth quickest ever run by a female athlete and it leaves her in sizzling form just weeks before the Paris Olympics opening ceremony on July 26.“The whole point of the way I have trained this year is to put myself in a position to medal in Paris. That goal doesn’t change, I just have to stay healthy and do it on the day that matters – August 10.
“I said to myself that I’m basically running a 1100m race today, and if I get further, then I get further.”Legendary athletics commentator David Culbert posted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Watch how Jess takes on Kipyegon till the last 200m. Incredible running”. Kenya's Faith Kipyegon was watching her back for Australia's Jessica Hull.

She is already a double Olympic 1500m champion, and also has three world titles. Last year at the Budapest worlds, she did the double by winning the 5,000m alongside the 1500m.
