On the crazy night of July 17th 2015, times danced, we all remember the World record of Genzebe Dibaba on 1500m, who in 3:50.07 replaced a 22 years old record. This performance was without a doubt the best of the night. We should also mention Asbel Kiprop's performance, who after a solo race threatened the World record of the Men's 1500m with a time of 3:26.69. This night, 3 other mid-distance runners established world leading performances of the year: Amel Tuka in 1:42.51 on 800m Men, Caleb Ndiku on 3000m Men in 7:35.13, and Habiba Ghribi in 9:11.28 on 3000m SC Women.
The support of an electric crowd enabled the athletes to establish 1 World record, 3 Continental records, and 8 National records, but also 2 Diamond League records, 6 Meeting records, et 8 world leading performances of the year.
The Monaco Federation of Athletics, organizer of the Herculis meeting, and its President H.S.H Prince Albert II, would like to thank the athletes, the audience, the sponsors and local partners as well as the volunteers for making this wonderful night possible. We look forward to welcoming you on July 15th 2016 for another great night of athletics!
