The reigning World Champion finished in 14:20.36, the fifth all time performance, ahead of her compatriot Agnes Jebet Tirop (14:20.68) and Dutchwoman Sifan Hassan (14:22.12). Hassan broke her own European record, which stood at 14:22.34 since July 2018.
The Dutchwoman is in great shape and only one week ago in Monaco she set a new World Record in the Mile (4:12.33). Obiri now leads the Diamond Race and, like Hassan, she is sure to qualify for the seasonal final of the Diamond League in Brussels at the AG Memorial Van Damme on September, 6th.
The women’s Diamond League 100 meter final will also be held in Brussels. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce was the winner in London in blistering 10"78, just one hundredth of a second off her own meeting record that she set six years ago in the British capital. Dina Asher-Smith came in second in London and she also places second in the Diamond Race. Marie-Joséé Ta Lou, third in London, still leads the Diamond Race. In the long jump Malaika Mihambo was the strongest with 7m02, a meeting record. The German is also sure to compete in the season final in Brussels.
Daniel Stahl is on top of his form. The Swede threw the discus 68m56, a meeting record. Stahl is the unchallenged leader in the Diamond Race and he holds the World Leading Performance with 71m86. Akeem Bloomfield took the 400 metres in 44"40, a seasonal best fort he Jamaican. After five of the six races, the battle for the spots in the final in Brussels is still on. American Michael Norman is leading with 16 points ahead of three of his compatriots.
