2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships – Women's 1500 Metres
The women's 1500 metres at the 2016 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on March 18 and 19, 2016. Ethiopia managed to put three athletes into this final, but the early leader was Melissa Duncan who broke away for the first three laps. The peloton was not concerned until just before the 1 km mark, when Sifan Hassan made a move forward. That move was taken seriously with the Ethiopians, Brenda Martinez and Violah Lagat all scrambling to line up behind her. But after assuming the lead, Hassan didn't try to accelerate, instead slowing the pace while the pack jostled for position behind her, with the tiring Duncan in the middle as yet another obstacle. With two laps to go, Hassan accelerated again, this time breaking away from the pack. At the bell only Dawit Seyaum and Gudaf Tsegay were able to stay with her. Along the back stretch and through the final turn, Seyaum pulled onto Hassan's outside shoulder with the obvious intent to pass her coming off the turn. Ins ...

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] |
