Debues-Stafford still wound up with a Canadian national record of 14:51.59 for her efforts. Canadian Gabriela Debues-Stafford made the first big push for home with 250 meters to go, but was eventually swallowed up by Tirop, Ethiopia’s Fantu Worku and Kenyan Lilian Rengeruk in the final 100m. With Obiri out of the mix, the race was extremely close between 10 women left in contention with 400m to go. Obiri couldn’t catch back up to the pack after her tumble and was clearly limping after finishing 12th in 15:07.70. Women’s 5000m - Hellen Obiri Crashes To The Track, Agnes Tirop Wins In 14:50Ī sleepy women’s 5k took a wild turn with 1k to go as reigning world champion Hellen Obiri of Kenya crashed to the track in the middle of a traffic jam, the second fall in a chaotic race ultimately won by Kenyan Agnes Tirop in a world leading 14:50.82. The 400m hurdler Benjamin was second in 45.13 with Michael Cherry a distant third in 46.30. Stockholm marked Norman’s first ever Diamond League 400m race. SAC win in appearance, as he once again blew away Benjamin in the final 100m. Still, Norman’s victory resembled his Mt.

Norman’s encore to his stunning 43.45 400m opener from April- the fastest season debut ever and sixth best in history- was highly anticipated, but temperatures hovering around 50 degrees with rain and wind took the clock out of the equation. In chilly and breezy conditions, another all-time early season 400m performance was not in the cards for 21-year-old Michael Norman on Thursday in the Swedish capital, but the 2019 world leader still glided away to an easy victory over roommate and training partner Rai Benjamin in 44.53. Here were the highlights: Men’s 400m - Norman Dominates In Cold And Wet Stockholm The third stop on the Diamond League circuit took place in Stockholm on Thursday in cold and wet conditions in the Swedish capital.
