The world and Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon has reiterated that she still aims for more after setting a new world record in the 1500m in Florence, on June 2.
"There’s still more to come. I’m still working on running faster than that, faster than 3:49. I managed to run 3:49 and I’m still heading towards beautiful races in the rest of the season," she said.
Kipyegon delivered a thrilling finale to the third leg of the Wanda Diamond League with a bravura performance in a city that last saw a world record when World Athletics President Sebastian Coe broke the 800m mark here in 1981.
"I said that I wanted to run a beautiful race, run my race, and see what is possible, and this was possible," added.
Kipyegon will now turn her attention to the 5000m in Paris next week before returning to Kenya to top up her training for another tilt at the record at the Herculis meeting in Monaco in July.
She now holds the first and third fastest times in history, running her previous best of 3:50.37 last August.
