Rhasidat Adeleke took another huge step forward in her career when she became the first Irish woman in 17 years to win a National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) title. Adeleke struck double gold in the early hours of Sunday morning, breaking her own Irish 400m record in the process. Kipyegon wrote her name into the history books for 5000m, winning in 14:05.20, just a week after setting a new global mark for 1500m in Florence. “I didn't think about the world record, I don't know how I made it,” said Kipyegon. When I saw that it was a world record, I was so surprised – I just wanted to improve on my PB, the world record was not my plan."
