Ethiopian runner Gudaf Tsegay backed up her 1500 metre indoor record set earlier this week by running the best 800m time of the season so far in Sunday's meet at Val-de-Reuil in France. The 24-year-old broke the 1500m record on Tuesday with a run of three minutes and 53.09 seconds in Lievin, and she continued her wonderful form by powering to 800m victory in 1min 54.52sec. It beat the previous quickest time of the season, the 1:59.03 run by Britain's Keely Hodgkinson in January. "It's been a very good week," said Tsegay, who won 1500m bronze in the 2019 outdoor world championships, after setting a new personal best. "My goal remains the Olympic Games in Tokyo." American star Grant Holloway claimed an impressive 60m hurdles win in 7.41 seconds, just 0.11sec off Colin Jackson's world record. "I'm not really looking to break records," said the world 110m hurdles champion. "Records don't just come to you." Home favourite Renaud Lavillenie endured a miserable day in the pole vault, failing three times to cross the first bar set at 5.62 metres. dga-mpr/jc/iwd
