Letesenbet Gidey smashed the women?s half marathon world record by running 62 minutes and 52 seconds in Valencia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 23-year-old beat the previous best over 13.1 miles ? set by Kenyan Ruth Chepngetich ? by 70 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gidey is also the world 5,000m and 10,000m world record holder, winning bronze in the latter distance at the Tokyo Olympics in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

?I?m so happy to break the world record in my first half marathon,? said Gidey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compatriot Yalemzerf Yehualaw was second with a time of 63 minutes 51 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yehualaw thought she had set the women?s half marathon record earlier this year but her time was not ratified<\/a> after the course was found to be 54 metres short.<\/p>\n\n
