MONACO - Ugandan Joshua Cheptegei ensured a thrilling return for competitive athletics on Friday as he shattered the much-vaunted 16-year-old 5,000m world record at the Monaco Diamond League meet.
"I've tried to improve on my speed," said Cheptegei when asked what he had been working on since his world gold medal showing in the 10,000m in Doha last September. Meets in Eugene, London, Paris, Rabat, Gateshead and Shanghai have all been cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic. World 200m champion Lyles also had no problems in his race, sweeping to a convincing victory in 19.76sec.
