Werro fades from record pace as Broeders-Bol shines in 800m debut
Audrey Werro won the Ostrava Golden Spike women's 800m in 1:54.55, missing Jarmila Kratochvilova's 1983 record of 1:53.28 but posting the year’s fastest time; her Stockholm 1:53.98 remains the fastest this year. Femke Broeders-Bol, in her first outdoor 800m after switching from the 400m hurdles, finished second in 1:57.13. The meet also featured Noah Lyles clocking a world-best 14.67 for 150m on a curved track, and eight women going sub-2:00 in the 800m, signaling a deep field.
