Jess Hull took it to middle-distance legend Faith Kipyegon in the women’s 1500m final at the World Championships on Tuesday night, pushing the triple Olympic champion in the final lap in a brave run before showing grit to hold on for a bronze medal in a desperate finish.
The Australian finished third between two other Kenyans – silver medallist Dorcus Ewoi and fourth place Nelly Chepchirchir – to record her country’s second medal in Tokyo and its first world championship podium in the 1500m.
