Wanders, Hassan records

Julien Wanders and Sifan Hassan won the inaugural 5-kilometer Herculis in Monaco yesterday and in doing so claimed the official male and female world records, respectively. The distance has only been recognized as a world-record event by the governing IAAF since January last year with previous faster times described as “unofficial world bests.” Fresh from taking the European half marathon record from Mo Farah last week, Swiss Wanders’ time of 13:29 bettered the former world record by a second. The 22-year-old now holds the 5km world record and the European record for 10km and half marathon. Dutch Hassan crossed the finish line in a time of 14:44, beating the previous best set by American Sarah Pagano at 15:48. The record continues to build Hassan’s profile on the circuit after already holding the European records for the 5,000 meters and half marathon.
