Switzerland's Werro believes women's 800m record is within reach

Audrey Werro, a Swiss athlete, recently ran the women's 800 meters in 1 minute and 53.80 seconds at the Paris Diamond League, improving upon her personal best and becoming the first woman to achieve sub-1:54 times twice. She aims to break the longstanding world record of 1:53.28 set by Jarmila Kratochvilova in 1983. Werro mentioned that competing against fellow elite runner Keely Hodgkinson could help push her to break the record, as she feels racing against equally fast athletes helps her perform better. Werro acknowledged some pacing issues during her recent race but expressed confidence in future improvements.
