The flood of world record in hall athletics does not tear off: one day after the double strike by Norwegian Jakob Ingigtsen, US runner Grant Fisher also caused a sensation within a short time and the 20-year-old 5000 m record of the Großer Kenenisa Bekele also caused a sensation within a short time pulverized.
At the hall meeting in Boston, the 27-year-old stayed more than five seconds from 2004 (12: 49.60) in 12: 44.09 minutes.
The second -placed Frenchman Jimmy Gressier, which was secondly placed, improved the European record to 12: 54.92 minutes. Fisher had already pressed the world record over 3000 m to 7: 22.91 minutes in New York last weekend.
On Thursday in Liévin, Liévin in France, Influgsen had improved in a single race over 1500 m (3: 29.63) and over the mile (3: 45.14). The mileage stamp had only secured his compatriot Yared Nuguse (3: 46.63) on the day of the first Fisher world record.
