Gold: Marcel Hug wins bullion at World Athletics Championships.

The day at the World Athletics Championships in Paris could not have ended better for Switzerland: Marcel Hug confidently secured the gold medal in the 5000 m, winning his 24th prize at a world championship. Catherine Debrunner and Manuela Schär previously occupied the first two places over the same distance.

World Cup record broken

Hug dominates the race at will. After the first lap he takes the lead, seven laps before the end he pulls away from the field and drives alone towards the finish. He almost beat individual athletes. In 9:35.78 minutes, the man from Thurgau set a new world championship record in the heat, just like on Sunday. The 37-year-old missed the world record, which he only set in May, by 20 seconds.

Debrunner wins final sprint

Among the women, Debrunner and Schär lead the field, together with the American world record holder Susannah Scaroni. In the last 400 m, the Swiss duo then pull away. In the end, Debrunner has the upper hand in the final sprint and crosses the finish line 27 hundredths ahead of Schär. (SDA)
