Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson set a world leading time as she stormed to a dominant 800m victory at the World Indoor Tour event in Lievin, France.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The 20-year-old clocked one minute 57.71 seconds as she finished almost three seconds clear of the field.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kenya’s Commonwealth Games champion Mary Moraa came second in 2:00.61.<\/span><\/p>\n

It meant the in-form Hodgkinson improved on her previous world-leading time of 1:57.87 <\/span>from her win at the Copernicus Cup<\/span><\/a> in Torun last week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the progress, the Olympic and world silver medallist appeared disappointed to have not got closer to her own British indoor record of 1:57.20, which she set 12 months ago. <\/span><\/p>\n

In a promising start to a World Championship year, Hodgkinson <\/span>broke the women’s 600m world indoor record<\/span><\/a> in Manchester last month.<\/span><\/p>\n

She will attempt to defend her European indoor title, which she won in 2021, at March’s Championships in Istanbul.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also in Lievin on Wednesday, Ethiopian 22-year-old Lamecha Girma set a world indoor 3000m record of 7:23.81, as Spanish runner-up Mohamed Katir also beat the previous men’s record of 7:24.90 set by Kenya’s Daniel Komen 25 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenyan sprinter Ferdinand Omanyala edged Olympic men’s 100m champion Marcell Jacobs in the 60m event, clocking 6.54secs as his Italian rival crossed the line in 6.57secs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Olympic and world champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen set a world lead over 1500m, winning in 3:32.38, while Sweden’s men’s pole vault world record holder Armand Duplantis claimed his latest win – the 22-year-old the only athlete able to clear 6.01 metres.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
