Australians send records – and competitors
Jess Hull smashed her own mile record, Rose Davies crushed her national 5000 metres record and Cam Myers just crashed. On a dramatic day at the London Diamond League, Hull, the Paris Olympic silver medallist, again beat her own national record with a statement performance ahead of the world championships in Tokyo in September. As in Paris, her effort was not enough to win; she came second in 4:13.68 behind Ethiopia's Gudaf Tsegay (4:11.88). 'I had a lot of distractions, but was just trying to zone into the leader in the second half, but it was a solid run,' Hull said. 'Coming in, we were thinking I could run a national record, and I did. I would have liked to have been a little closer to 4:10, but I felt very strong for 4:13. 'A lot of records fell today, so it was a pretty special to be a part of that race.' Davies' emergence as a serious contender on the world stage continued when she smashed her own national and Oceanian 5000m records while finishing third in 14:31.45, wiping more than nine seconds off her previous record (14:40.83) set in China in April.
