Grant Fisher Sets Second World Indoor Record

American athlete Grant Fisher broke his second world indoor record within a week by completing the 5000m in 12:44.09 at the BU David Hemery Valentine Invitational, surpassing Kenenisa Bekele's 2004 record by 5.51 seconds. This achievement follows Fisher's 3000m world record at the Millrose Games where he ran 7:22.91, breaking Lamecha Girma's record set two years prior. Fisher, a 27-year-old Olympian with bronze medals from the 2024 Paris Olympics, plans to resume training in April for upcoming events. Concurrently, Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen set new records in the indoor mile and 1500m, highlighting a period of remarkable performances in athletics. Both Fisher's and Ingebrigtsen's records await ratification by World Athletics. Fisher's recent performance also saw Jimmy Gressier setting a new French record with a time of 12:54.92.
