Diamond League: Emil Agyekum runs German record over 400 meters hurdles, won by Malaika Mihambo

At the Diamond League meeting in London, Emil Agyekum broke the nearly 44-year-old German record for the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 47.45 seconds, surpassing the previous record held by Harald Schmid. Agyekum narrowly missed defeating Norwegian Karsten Warholm, who set a meeting record at 46.61 seconds. Meanwhile, Olympic champion Malaika Mihambo secured a strong jump of 7.05 meters in the long jump, finishing ahead of competitors including Claire Bryant and Larissa Iapichino. The event also saw Josh Kerr achieve a historic victory by breaking the world record for the mile (1,609 meters) in 3:42.66 minutes, surpassing the previous mark set by Moroccan Hicham El Guerrouj in 1999. Additionally, Armand Duplantis suffered his second seasonal defeat in pole vaulting after skipping his final attempt due to injury.
