at the eDreams Mitja Marat\u0026oacute; Barcelona by Brooks, a \u003cstrong\u003eWorld Athletics Gold Label \u003c/strong\u003eroad race, on Sunday (16).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith that impressive performance, the 24-year-old two-time world cross country champion improved on Yomif Kejelcha\u0026rsquo;s previous world record of 57:30 by 48 seconds \u0026ndash; the greatest single improvement on the men\u0026rsquo;s world half marathon record.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRacing in ideal weather conditions of 13\u0026ordm;C with no wind, Kiplimo became the first athlete to break 57 minutes for the distance and also set a world best of 40:07 for 15km en route to his world half marathon record.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the women\u0026rsquo;s race, Kenya\u0026rsquo;s former world record-holder Joyciline Jepkosgei grabbed a convincing win in a lifetime best of 1:04:13 to retain her title in a course record and move to seventh on the world all-time list.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite not having announced a world record assault ahead of the race, the stellar form Kiplimo showed on 31 December in Madrid where he effortlessly clocked 26:32 for 10km suggested something great might happen in Barcelona. During the technical meeting held on Saturday afternoon a 2:45/km rhythm was agreed to be set by Kenya\u0026rsquo;s Edwin Kimosong\u0026nbsp;for the opening kilometres, yet that 58-minute final pace proved too easy for Kiplimo as the Ugandan, eager to regain the world record he set in Lisbon back in 2021, took full command of the race some eight minutes into the event.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom then on Kiplimo offered an incredible display of strength, going faster and faster to reach 5km in 13:34, already on world record pace. By then, Kenyans Geoffrey Kamworor and Samwel Mailu travelled together some 19 seconds in arrears, while Italy\u0026rsquo;s European champion Yemaneberhan Crippa was a lonesome fourth in 14:02.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKiplimo began to cover the following kilometres in the 2:40-2:42 range to go through the 10km checkpoint in 26:46, clearly inside the world record pace of 27:15, while Kamworor and Mailu clocked a still quick 27:39 to Crippa\u0026rsquo;s 28:02. The lonesome leader continued to pick up his cadence over the second half and his 15km split was initially recorded as 39:47 before it was confirmed after the race as 40:07\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003e, improving his own world best. By then it became clear that, barring disaster, he would become the world record-holder again as his splits suggested that even a sub-57:00 final clocking was more than feasible.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ugandan ace didn\u0026rsquo;t falter over the closing kilometres and was timed at 53:42 for the 20km mark to complete another 26:46 10km section. He finished in a blistering 56:42 - a \u0026lsquo;beamonesque\u0026rsquo; performance as the previous world record stood at 57:30. Way back, Kamworor clinched the runner-up spot in 58:44 and Mailu completed the podium in 59:40.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"It has been the perfect race,\" said Kiplimo. \"Ideal temperature, no wind at all, fantastic circuit - everything went better than expected. The pacemaker set the agreed 2:45 pace but I found myself full of energy and decided to inject a brisker rhythm from the third kilometre, but I never imagined to perform under the 57 minute barrier, that's astonishing.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I won't compete any more until my marathon debut in London on 27 April.\"\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle defender Jepkosgei finds no opposition\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough overshadowed by Kiplimo\u0026rsquo;s feat, the women\u0026rsquo;s race witnessed a world-class contest led by Jepkosgei. The 31-year-old Kenyan had the company of her compatriot Gladys Chepkurui and the Ethiopian pair of Alemtsehay Zerihun and Addise Kebede for the opening kilometres, but she was a lonesome leader by the 5km point which she reached in 15:25 to Chepkurui and Kebede\u0026rsquo;s 15:30.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking advantage of the slightly downhill 5-10km section, Jepkosgei stepped up her rhythm to go through 10km in 30:08, a massive 37 seconds clear of Chepkurui who herself was well ahead of the Ethiopian duo, Zerihun (31:27) and Kebede (31:46).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leader continued her relentless campaign over the second half, averaging 3:04 for the third 5km section to clock 45:27 for 15km some 1:14 clear of Chepkurui, who was more than a minute ahead of Zerihun and Kebede.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs she reached the tape, Jepkosgei managed a career best by 16 seconds to take back-to-back titles in Barcelona in 1:04:32, while Chepkurui was a distant second in 1:06:23 to Zerihun\u0026rsquo;s third place in 1:08:19.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026ldquo;It\u0026rsquo;s my third year in a row competing here in Barcelona,\u0026rdquo; said Jepkosgei. \u0026ldquo;I managed a runner-up place and two wins so I\u0026rsquo;m more than satisfied. In addition, I have bettered my PB which was not easy so I can\u0026rsquo;t ask for more and hope to return next year.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026ldquo;I\u0026rsquo;m also impressed by Kiplimo\u0026rsquo;s great achievement,\u0026rdquo; added Jepkosgei, who was fresh from a fifth-place finish at the Kenyan Cross Country Championships last weekend.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https://worldathletics.org/competitions/world-athletics-label-road-races/calendar-results/7221901/result\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResults\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKejelcha moves to No.2 all time for 10km in Castell\u0026oacute;n\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYomif Kejelcha and Medina Eisa secured an Ethiopian double at the 10K Facsa Castell\u0026oacute;n, a \u003cstrong\u003eWorld Athletics Label\u003c/strong\u003e road race, held in the Spanish coastal city on Sunday (16).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Kejelcha targeted the world record of 26:24 and had to settle for a 26:31 clocking to move to second on the men\u0026rsquo;s world all-time list, debutant Eisa also impressed with a 29:25 performance to finish well ahead of her compatriot Likina Amebaw. Eisa\u0026rsquo;s winning time and Amebaw\u0026rsquo;s PB of 29:40 move the pair to fourth and ninth respectively on the women\u0026rsquo;s all-time list.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKejelcha, who lost his world half marathon record some two minutes after crossing the finish line in Castell\u0026oacute;n following Jacob Kiplimo\u0026rsquo;s impressive effort in Barcelona, improved on his PB of 26:37 and broke the Ethiopian record of 26:33 held by Berihu Aregawi.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfectly paced by Burundi's Rodrigue Kwizera, Kejelcha covered the opening kilometres at the required pace to attack the world record as he clocked 2:36 for the opening kilometre and then reached 2km in 5:13 and 3km in 7:51. Kejelcha was even running slightly ahead of Kwizera at some points, like he was demanding a quicker rhythm, and despite the frantic cadence the pair were accompanied by the Ethiopian teenager duo of Yismaw Dillu and debutant Kuma Girma.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was Dillu who first dropped from the leading pack, which went through the halfway point in 13:13, just a single second behind the world record pace. A few metres on, Kwizera dropped out and Kejelcha took charge of the race while Girma hung on to run at his compatriot\u0026rsquo;s shoulder.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGirma\u0026rsquo;s resistance came to an end before the sixth kilometre, with the 19-year-old having competed barely 36 hours earlier in Lievin over 3000m. At that point Kejelcha maintained the world record mood thanks to a 15:50 clocking and the same went for the following kilometre as he reached the 7km mark in 18:28. However, an uncomfortable fog hampered Kejelcha\u0026rsquo;s effort over the closing kilometres and he lost some valuable seconds over the closing stages.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe still managed to achieve the second quickest 10km time in history of 26:31 while Girma, the younger brother of the Olympic and three-time world 3000m steeplechase silver medallist Lamecha Girma, produced a remarkable debut with a 26:58 performance. Kenya\u0026rsquo;s Brian Kibor completed the podium in 27:05, while France\u0026rsquo;s European 3000m steeplechase silver medallist Djilali Bedrani was the leading European athlete as he clocked 27:58 for seventh.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026ldquo;I was absolutely convinced I would break the world record today,\u0026rdquo; said a disappointed Kejelcha. \u0026ldquo;It\u0026rsquo;s a setback for me.\u0026rdquo;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuccessful debut for Eisa\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe women\u0026rsquo;s event witnessed brilliant outings by the Ethiopian pair of world U20 5km record-holder Eisa and the Spain-based Amebaw. In the absence of pacemakers, the 20-year-old Eisa kicked off like a bullet as she went through the opening kilometre in 2:48 with Amebaw some 20 metres behind her in 2:51.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSandwiched between male athletes, Eisa slowed her frantic pace over the following kilometres but she still covered every kilometre well under 3:00 to reach the 3km mark in 8:40 and the halfway point in 14:35, just 12 seconds slower than the world U20 record she set in Barcelona on 31 December. By then, Amebaw was a comfortable second some 14 seconds in arrears. Well behind that pair, Ethiopia\u0026rsquo;s Aynadis Mebratu and Kenya\u0026rsquo;s Cintia Chepngeno fought hard for the third place on the podium another 12 seconds behind.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the second half, Eisa managed to maintain her 2:57/2:58 rhythm and also her margin over a consistent Amebaw who also ran inside 3:00 per kilometre pace.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe talented Eisa crossed the finish line in 29:25 to move to fourth all-time, just 10 seconds outside the Ethiopian record set by Yalemzef Yehualaw in

addition to her runner-up place, while Mebratu completed a sweep for Ethiopia timed at 30:05 to Chepngeno\u0026rsquo;s 30:17.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlovenia\u0026rsquo;s Klara Lukan

performance the two-time world champion improved the previous world record of 1:16:36 set by his compatriot Yusuke Suzuki in Nomi in 2015 by 26 seconds - and the winner never looked the slightest bit bothered by his effort.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, Yamanishi was sharing a joke with lapped athletes over the final kilometre to come home in style.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs befits tradition, the Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist \u0026ndash; who had a previous PB of 1:17:15 set in 2019 \u0026ndash; stopped immediately after crossing the line to bow to all four points of the

The world is his own for the time being, and his renaissance is complete.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA poor, by his standards, 2023 was rekindled too late for him to make the Japanese Olympic team for Paris, but his World Race Walking Tour win in La Coruna last May was just the uplift the 29-year-old needed.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere he clocked 1:17:47 against a world-class field, most of whom went on to compete in Paris. But nothing suggested the bespectacled race walker would produce this.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt had been raining in Kobe but was a fresh 7 degrees at the gun with the sun gamely trying to peep through the clouds. Several athletes wore arm warmers as they raced among the leading throng of 20 who were clear after the first 500m.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven the first 1km lap was a nifty 3:48.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main contenders were immediately to the front, with Yamanishi, Hiroto Jusho, Satoshi Maruo, Keisuke Hara and Ryo Hamanshi among those with their noses out front by the end of a second kilometre in 7:48.

Yamanishi, Hamanishi, Yuta Koga and Maruo were together, with Kento Yoshikara (PB 1:19:12) straining to rejoin the leaders. By 8km, Koga \u0026ndash; eighth at the Olympics last year \u0026ndash; had become uncoupled, which was no big surprise considering halfway was an eye-watering 38:21.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHamanishi was next to suffer as his shoulders tightened with just slightest of gaps forged as they passed 12km.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne lap later and Yamanishi put the hammer down. He sliced open a gap of 12 seconds in just half a lap.

The lonesome leader continued to pick up his cadence over the second half and his 15km split was initially recorded as 39:47 before it was confirmed after the race as 40:07\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Open Sans', 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003e, improving his own world best. By then it became clear that, barring disaster, he would become the world record-holder again as his splits suggested that even a sub-57:00 final clocking was more than feasible.\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ugandan ace didn\u0026rsquo;t falter over the closing kilometres and was timed at 53:42 for the 20km mark to complete another 26:46 10km section. He finished in a blistering 56:42 - a \u0026lsquo;beamonesque\u0026rsquo; performance as the previous world record stood at 57:30. Way back, Kamworor clinched the runner-up spot in 58:44 and Mailu completed the podium in 59:40.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"It has been the perfect race,\" said Kiplimo. \"Ideal temperature, no wind at all, fantastic circuit - everything went better than expected. The pacemaker set the agreed 2:45 pace but I found myself full of energy and decided to inject a brisker rhythm from the third kilometre, but I never imagined to perform under the 57 minute barrier, that's astonishing.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"I won't compete any more until my marathon debut in London on 27 April.\"\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle defender Jepkosgei finds no opposition\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough overshadowed by Kiplimo\u0026rsquo;s feat, the women\u0026rsquo;s race witnessed a world-class contest led by Jepkosgei. The 31-year-old Kenyan had the company of her compatriot Gladys Chepkurui and the Ethiopian pair of Alemtsehay Zerihun and Addise Kebede for the opening kilometres, but she was a lonesome leader by the 5km point which she reached in 15:25 to Chepkurui and Kebede\u0026rsquo;s 15:30.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking advantage of the slightly downhill 5-10km section, Jepkosgei stepped up her rhythm to go through 10km in 30:08, a massive 37 seconds clear of Chepkurui who herself was well ahead of the Ethiopian duo, Zerihun (31:27) and Kebede (31:46).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leader continued her relentless campaign over the second half, averaging 3:04 for the third 5km section to clock 45:27 for 15km some 1:14 clear of Chepkurui, who was more than a minute ahead of Zerihun and Kebede.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs she reached the tape, Jepkosgei managed a career best by 16 seconds to take back-to-back titles in Barcelona in 1:04:32, while Chepkurui was a distant second in 1:06:23 to Zerihun\u0026rsquo;s third place in 1:08:19.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026ldquo;It\u0026rsquo;s my third year in a row competing here in Barcelona,\u0026rdquo; said Jepkosgei. \u0026ldquo;I managed a runner-up place and two wins so I\u0026rsquo;m more than satisfied.

Kejelcha was even running slightly ahead of Kwizera at some points, like he was demanding a quicker rhythm, and despite the frantic cadence the pair were accompanied by the Ethiopian teenager duo of Yismaw Dillu and debutant Kuma Girma.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was Dillu who first dropped from the leading pack, which went through the halfway point in 13:13, just a single second behind the world record pace.

At that point Kejelcha maintained the world record mood thanks to a 15:50 clocking and the same went for the following kilometre as he reached the 7km mark in 18:28. However, an uncomfortable fog hampered Kejelcha\u0026rsquo;s effort over the closing kilometres and he lost some valuable seconds over the closing stages.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe still managed to achieve the second quickest 10km time in history of 26:31 while Girma, the younger brother of the Olympic and three-time world 3000m steeplechase silver medallist Lamecha Girma, produced a remarkable debut with a 26:58 performance. Kenya\u0026rsquo;s Brian Kibor completed the podium in 27:05, while France\u0026rsquo;s European 3000m steeplechase silver medallist Djilali Bedrani was the leading European athlete as he clocked 27:58 for seventh.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026ldquo;I was absolutely convinced I would break the world record today,\u0026rdquo; said a disappointed Kejelcha. \u0026ldquo;It\u0026rsquo;s a setback for me.\u0026rdquo;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuccessful debut for Eisa\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe women\u0026rsquo;s event witnessed brilliant outings by the Ethiopian pair of world U20 5km record-holder Eisa and the Spain-based Amebaw. In the absence of pacemakers, the 20-year-old Eisa kicked off like a bullet as she went through the opening kilometre in 2:48 with Amebaw some 20 metres behind her in 2:51.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSandwiched between male athletes, Eisa slowed her frantic pace over the following kilometres but she still covered every kilometre well under 3:00 to reach the 3km mark in 8:40 and the halfway point in 14:35, just 12 seconds slower than the world U20 record she set in Barcelona on 31 December. By then, Amebaw was a comfortable second some 14 seconds in arrears.

performance the two-time world champion improved the previous world record of 1:16:36 set by his compatriot Yusuke Suzuki in Nomi in 2015 by 26 seconds - and the winner never looked the slightest bit bothered by his effort.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, Yamanishi was sharing a joke with lapped athletes over the final kilometre to come home in style.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs befits tradition, the Tokyo Olympic bronze medallist \u0026ndash; who had a previous PB of 1:17:15 set in 2019 \u0026ndash; stopped immediately after crossing the line to bow to all four points of the

The world is his own for the time being, and his renaissance is complete.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA poor, by his standards, 2023 was rekindled too late for him to make the Japanese Olympic team for Paris, but his World Race Walking Tour win in La Coruna last May was just the uplift the 29-year-old needed.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere he clocked 1:17:47 against a world-class field, most of whom went on to compete in Paris.

Yamanishi, Hamanishi, Yuta Koga and Maruo were together, with Kento Yoshikara (PB 1:19:12) straining to rejoin the leaders. By 8km, Koga \u0026ndash; eighth at the Olympics last year \u0026ndash; had become uncoupled, which was no big surprise considering halfway was an eye-watering 38:21.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHamanishi was next to suffer as his shoulders tightened with just slightest of gaps forged as they passed 12km.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne lap later and Yamanishi put the hammer down. He sliced open a gap of 12 seconds in just half a lap.
