On Saturday, Bahraini athlete Ruth Jebet set the first-ever world record at the Stade de France, where the MEETING DE PARIS has been held since 1999. With a blistering run of 8:52:78, the precocious 19-year-old won the 3,000m steeplechase and broke the longstanding record (8:58:81) held by Russia\u2019s Gulnara Samitova-Galkina, set at the Beijing Olympics back in 2008. Jebet, who appeared unconcerned by the warm 33\u00b0C temperatures, finished \u2013 as she did in Rio \u2013 ahead of &nbsp;Kenya\u2019s Hyvin Kiyeng (9:01:96) and the USA\u2019s Emma Coburn (9:10:19). In addition, the Oceanian record also fell, as Genevieve Lacaze (AUS), who finished sixth, recorded a time of 9:14:28.
