Jessica Hull has smashed the women’s world record in the 2000 metres at the Monaco Diamond League on Friday 12th of July 2024.
The 27-year-old NSW middle- and long-distance runner clocked 5 minutes 19.70 seconds, beating the previous world record by 2 seconds in this rarely contested distance over five laps.
Five days earlier, she had set a new national record in the women’s 1500m at the Eugene Diamond League in Paris, France and became the fifth-fastest runner in the history of the event.
Jessica set an Australian mile record of 4:19.89 in Portland on July 2, 2024.
2024 has been quite a year for Jessica, with the Olympics this year let's get the whole of Australia behind her.
