Wanyonyi Breaks 27-Year-Old 1,000m World Record at Diamond League Monaco

Kenyan middle-distance runner Emmanuel Wanyonyi set a new world record in the 1,000m at the Diamond League meeting in Monaco, breaking a 27-year-old mark previously held by a fellow Kenyan. It was Wanyonyi's debut at the distance, which is rarely contested at the top level of international athletics.
