Florence Kiplagat got the new world record in Barcelona
Last February, Florence Kiplagat got a time of 1.05.12 in the eDreams Mitja Marató Barcelona, making history with a new world record. Nowadays, this is the best time in a half marathon in the women category. No woman has been able to improve this mark, which is about a minute of the second best time in this distance, achieved last April by the Kenyan Joyce Chepkirui in Prague. Another Kenyan athlete has the third fastest time: Priscah Jeptoo, with 1.07.02.
