This time it was Yared Nuguse’s turn to join the club. On a night when reigning Olympic champions struggled to get to grips in the Zurich rain, the third man in the Paris final became the latest rival to overhaul Jakob Ingebrigtsen to claim a notable victory in a showpiece 1500m race on Thursday (5).
There were no medals on the line in the last Wanda Diamond League meeting before the final in Brussels on 13 and 14 September, but that mattered little to the Olympic bronze medallist from the USA as he swept past Ingebrigtsen halfway down the home straight to claim a famous victory in 3:29.21.
The 2024 edition of the Zurich Weltklasse also produced a bold but ultimately unsuccessful 5000m world record attempt from Beatrice Chebet, and featured a high-class women’s 100m hurdles, in which Olympic champion Masai Russell had to settle for third.
But on an evening of several upsets, Nuguse’s 1500m masterclass shone brightest of all.
