Track star Myers sets new world-leading time in Paris

Australian middle-distance star Cameron Myers has stormed to a superb 1500m victory at the Paris Diamond League meeting to improve his own world-leading time in the process.

The 20-year-old's dominant display had him cross in 3:28.00 to become his country's fastest ever man over the distance, surpassing Oliver Hoare's domestic and Oceania record of 3:29.41 set in 2023.

In doing so, the fastest man in the world this year - who now rises to 12th on the all-time list - saw off the threat of Frenchman Azeddine Habz (3:29.80) and Britain's 2022 world champion Jake Wightman, who was third in a season's best of 3:29.95.
