2022 World Athletics Championships – Women's 1500 Metres
The women's 1500 metres at the 2022 World Athletics Championships was held at the Hayward Field in Eugene from 15 to 18 July 2022. Summary Championship 1500 races typically are not fast, instead most athletes bide their time and save their energy to kick for the medals at the end. Gudaf Tsegay didn't get the memo. From the gun, she took off at a serious fast pace. Only her Ethiopian teammate Hirut Meshesha, Olympic Champion Faith Kipyegon and Olympic silver medalist Laura Muir chose to go with her. 150 metres into the race, a gap was already formed. The first 400 metres was covered in under 59 seconds, which would be a good opening lap of an 800 metres. The gap was 15 metres to the others. On the second lap, Meshesha was struggling to stay on the back of the breakaway group, then as compensation, sped up to pull even with Tsegay causing Kipyegon to tighten up to the group. But that burst was Meshesha's last gasp as she began to fall off the back. The medals looked settl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
