American Fisher smashes 3000m indoor world record
American Grant Fisher smashed the world indoor 3000m record at the Millrose Games in New York on Saturday, in a thrilling duel with Olympic 1500m champion Cole Hocker.
Fisher and Hocker were locked in battle throughout the race before Fisher passed his fellow American off the final turn to clock seven minutes 22.91 seconds, lowering Ethiopian Lamecha Girma’s world mark of 7:23.81 set in 2023.
The 27-year-old Fisher won bronze in both the 5000 and 10000m at last year’s Paris Olympics.
Hocker crossed the line in 7:23.14 on Saturday, also under Girma’s mark.
