Ethiopia's Ababel Yeshaneh smashed the women's half marathon world record by 20 seconds to win the Ras Al Khaimah event in the UAE
- Ethiopia’s Ababel Yeshaneh smashed the half marathon world record by 20 seconds on Friday to win the Ras Al Khaimah event in the United Arab Emirates on Friday.
Marathon world record holder Brigid Kosgei finished second, and her time was also two seconds inside Jepkosgei’s mark.
