INTERNATIONAL RESULTS
FRANCE
Diamond League, Meeting de Paris, Charléty Stadium, 7 June: Geordie Beamish in the 3000m steeplechase finished fifth in a New Zealand and Oceania record of 8:09.64 breaking his own record of 8:13.26. Abrham Sime of Ethiopia won in 8:02.36.
Beamish said it was an okay race as he wasn’t able to go with the lead pack.
“I had a frustrating few weeks with a minor injury at my hip, a hip-adductor strain, so hurdling was really painful today. I just didn´t have the confidence and smoothness to go with the lead pack. 8:02 was unrealistic either way, but I was just trying to survive and hope to make it healthy to Paris.
“We always planned to just run Stockholm and Paris and put together a couple of good training blocks. I hope that the next four weeks in Switzerland are going to make the difference.”
World records were set at the Paris meeting by Yaroslava Mahuchikh of Ukraine clearing 2.10m in the high jump, one centimetre higher than the world record set by Bulgarian Stefka Kostadinova at the 1987 World Championships and Faith Kipyegon of Kenya who improved on her world 1500m record to 3:49.04. Jessica Hull in second set an Oceania record of 3:50.83, cutting five seconds off her previous record.
