OLYMPIC champion Ruth Jebet smashed the world record for the women’s 3,000 meters steeplechase by more than six seconds at the Paris Diamond League meeting on Saturday.
The 19-year-old, who was born in Kenya and runs for Bahrain, clocked eight minutes 52.78 seconds, more than nine seconds ahead of Olympic silver medalist Hyvin Kiyeng Jepkemoi of Kenya who finished second. The previous record of 8:58.81 was set by Russian Gulnara Galkina at the Beijing Olympics eight years ago.
