Faith Kipyegon won her fourth global title, after a torrid pace from the gun.
Some races go out slowly. Some races go out hard. And then there was that women’s 1500.
Gudaf Tsegay of Ethiopia took the race out at a sprint, with three women sticking to her: two-time Olympic gold medalist Faith Kipyegon of Kenya, Olympic silver medalist Laura Muir of Great Britain, and Hirut Meshesha of Ethiopia. It didn’t take long for a gap to form between the front four and the next nine runners in the field, which made the 1500 look more like a marathon than the metric mile.

Kipyegon, as she does so often, tucked in behind Tsegay and exploded to the lead down the final backstretch, winning in 3:52.96.“I didn’t look at the clock at all the whole race,” Muir said. “After the first couple hundred meters, I knew, this is very, very fast and I thought, ‘You know what? It’s not going to help to look at the clock right now. It’s probably better not to look.’ For me, it was all about racing; it wasn’t about times.
