Ben Pattison moved second behind Sebastian Coe on the British men’s 800m all-time list as Monaco hosted the penultimate Diamond League meeting before the Paris Olympics.<\/b><\/p>\n
World bronze medallist Pattison, 22, ran a personal best of one minute 42.27 seconds for fifth place in a high-quality race.<\/p>\n
It moved him above Steve Cram and leaves Coe – who ran a then-world record 1:41.73 in 1981 – as the only British man to run the two-lap event faster.<\/p>\n
Dina Asher-Smith finished third in the women’s 100m in 10.99 seconds, as training partner Julien Alfred, of St Lucia, took victory in 10.85secs from American Tamari Davis.<\/p>\n
Britain’s world indoor champion Molly Caudery cleared 4.83m for third in the women’s pole vault, won by Australia’s world champion Nina Kennedy with a best of 4.88m.<\/p>\n
Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen produced a statement performance in the men’s 1500m, clocking a European record 3:26.73 as he builds towards his Olympic title defence and a showdown with world champion Josh Kerr.<\/p>\n
Neil Gourley, who will contest that event at Paris 2024 alongside fellow Britons Kerr and George Mills, was fifth in a season’s best 3:30.65 and Elliot Giles finished 13th (3:40.72).<\/p>\n
Australian Jessica Hull set a women’s world record in the rarely run 2,000m, clocking a sensational 5:19.70 just five days after she finished runner-up behind Faith Kipyegon’s record-breaking 1500m run in Paris.<\/p>\n
Melissa Courtney-Bryant, who missed out on an Olympic place, was second in a British record 5:26.08, while in the women’s 5,000m Hannah Nuttall was 14th in 15:37.21.<\/p>\n
The final Diamond League meeting before the Paris 2024 Games takes place in London on Saturday, 20 July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
