A Swiss runner recorded the third-fastest 800m time in history at a Stockholm track meet. Audrey Werro crossed the line in 1 minute 53.98 seconds. The mark trails only the world record of 1:53.28 set in 1983 and a 1980 performance of 1:53.43.
Women's 800m Keely Hodgkinson, the British Olympic champion, finished second after leading late in the race. She had entered the event with a British record of 1:54.33. Hodgkinson said the loss would serve as motivation. She plans to target the world record at the London Diamond League meeting next month.
"Honestly, I'm not that disappointed," Hodgkinson said.
