Oklahoma Throws Series World Invitational: With just a few days to go before the start of the athletics competitions in the Paris Olympic Games, World Athletics, the governing body for track and field competitions, has ratified several World Records set over the past seven months. These records include the Women's 400m hurdles record set by Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the Women's 1500m mark of Faith Kipyegon, the pole vault world record by Mondo Duplantis and the men's discus throw record set by Mykolas Alekna.
Also ratified on the occasion were Kenyan Beatrice Chebet's Women’s World 5km record (women-only), the Women’s World 5km record (mixed) and 10m (mixed) records set by Agnes Jebet Ngetich of Kenya.
Chebet brought her 2023 season to a close in memorable fashion on December 31, winning over 5km on the roads in Barcelona in 14:13. The world cross-country champion took 16 seconds off the women-only world record set by Senbere Teferi in Herzogenaurach on September 12, 2021.
