MONACO: Kenya´s Faith Kipyegon, with her third world record of a scintillating season, and Norwegian Karsten Warholm, with the fourth fastest 400m hurdles ever, ensured the Monaco Diamond League meet on Friday lived up to its glittering reputation. Kipyegon continued her remarkable form by smashing the women´s mile world record, just a month after setting world records in the 1500m and 5,000m in June. "I came for that, I wanted to chase the world record," said Kipyegon. World champion Alison Dos Santos was on Warholm´s inside and managed to keep the Norwegian in his sights. "It´s very nice to take the Diamond League record, it´s my second best time ever, so I´m proud and happy with it.
