On September 11, 2021, a world record tumbled on when Kenya’s Agnes Tirop surged to victory in the 10km race at an event in Herzogenaurach, Germany.
Tirop, a twice world 10,000m bronze medallist, won the 10 km event with a time of 30 minutes and one second, finishing ahead of Sheila Chepkirui and shaving 28 seconds off the record previously set by Morocco’s Asmae Leghzaoui 19 years ago.
