Laura Muir set a new British 1500m mark as rival Faith Kipyegon smashed the world record at the Paris Diamond League, while Yaroslava Mahuchikh broke a 37-year mark in the women's high jump.
British champion Georgia Bell clocked a huge personal best of 3:56.54 for fifth as she builds towards her Games debut, while Katie Snowden was ninth in 3:58.13. Only Hull dared follow as Kipyegon raced the pace-setting lights on the inside of the track in pursuit of further history, while Muir timed her effort perfectly to finish strong and boost her belief she can once again make the Olympic podium.
The Ukrainian had recorded the joint-fourth highest jump in history with a personal best leap over 2.07m, after she secured victory over Australian Nicola Olyslagers by clearing 2.03m.
