Hull (NSW, Simon Hull) and Griffith (VIC, Nic Bideau) comfortably progressed to the semi-finals of the women’s 1500m. When Ethiopian 5000m world record holder Gudaf Tsegay moved forward after just 300m, Georgia quickly responded and was then positioned herself perfectly for the rest of the race. Although Hull broke her own Australian record (3:50.83) last month in Paris, that meet was not held at Stade de France. Unfortunately, he was 1.71m short of making the Olympic final.
