2022 Stockholm DL: Mondo Breaks the WR* As A Guy With A 13:34 5000 PB STUNS Jacob Kiplimo and Runs 7:29 to Win 3000
By LetsRun.com
June 30, 2022
On to Eugene.
With today’s Bauhaus Galan meet in Stockholm in the books, there are no more Diamond League meets until the 2022 World Athletics Championships begin in Eugene on July 15. Which meant it was the last chance for athletes to make a statement before the world gathers at Hayward Field next month.
The biggest statement of all came in the men’s pole vault as Mondo Duplantis cleared 6.16 meters in front of the Swedish crowd – the highest ever jump outdoors (though Duplantis has gone 6.20 indoors). The 400 hurdles races were also super fast as Alison dos Santos ran 46.80 to win the men’s race and Femke Bol a Diamond League record of 52.27 in the women’s race.
In the distance events, breakout Kenyan star Mary Moraa took down Keely Hodgkinson to convincingly win the 800 in 1:57.68 while Algeria’s Slimane Moula took the men’s race in 1:44.60. The biggest surprise of the day came in the men’s 3000, where former Athlete Refugee Team member Dominic Lobalu stunned Jacob Kiplimo to win in a 20-second pb of 7:29.48.
Full recap and analysis of the meet below.
Men’s Pole Vault: Mondo Duplantis gives the Swedish fans an outdoor world record
Sweden’s Mondo Duplantis gave the Swedish fans what they wanted – an outdoor world record* of 6.16 meters. Mondo was on his game throughout the night as he didn’t miss at 5.63, 5.83, 5.93, or 6.03 before moving the bar up to a height no one had ever cleared outdoors. After one miss, he cleared it with ease on his second attempt but then didn’t try anything higher.

Quick Take: *It’s absurd that World Athletics counts the absolute best mark as the world record in the pole vault instead of having indoor and outdoor world records like they do in other events
So technically this wasn’t a world record but it was the highest jump ever outdoors. In case you are wondering, Duplantis has four times jumped higher indoors – 6.20, 6.19, 6.18, and 6.17. No other human has gone higher than 6.16, which is a mark that Renaud Lavillenie did once indoors.
Men’s 3000: Domnic Lobalu STUNS Jacob Kiplimo in 7:29.48
Update: Dominic Lobalu was listed in the results as a member of the Athlete Refugee Team and he was referred to as a member of that team when this article was originally published. But Lobalu stopped competing for the ART when he left Kenya for Switzerland in 2019.
The men’s 3000 produced one of the most stunning results in Diamond League history. With only one Kenyan and no Ethiopians racing, it was expected to be the Jacob Kiplimo show. The world record holder in the half marathon and Olympic 10,000 bronze medallist was running his first track race of the year and was hoping to break 7:30.
And break 7:30 he did but he didn’t win the race as unheralded Dominic Lobalu got the win in 7:29.48 to Kiplimo’s 7:29.55. The 23-year-old Lobalu who is from the South Sudan but spent a lot of time in Kenya and now is in Switzerland came into this one with modest pbs of 3:39/7:49/13:34/27:58 and 61:01 (2022).
Yet Lobalu was the winner as he went from 5th to 1st over the final lap (54.2) and really crushed the final 300 (39.20).
The Race
The race was rabbitted very evenly for 7:30 through 2k in 5:02. At 2k, as is so often the case on the DL circuit, Stewart McSweyn of Australia found himself as the racer tasked with keeping things honest. When he was up front, he was running 61 pace and just before the bell Kiplimo went to the lead.
On the first turn, there was a slight gap between the top 3 and 4th and 5th with Lobalu back in 5th. But Lobalu moved into 4th, then made up the gap and kept going. He passed McSweyn on the backstretch to move into 3rd and then he passed 13:04 man Cornelius Kemboi of Kenya (3rd in 7:31.26) on the turn. Only one man remained and it was Kiplimo, who was a meter or two in front. About 85 meters from the finish line, Kiplimo sensed someone was coming as he looked over to his right. After that Kiplimo desperately tried to get to the line first, flailing his arms when Lobalu came up on him with about 20 meters left but to no avail. Lobalu was your shock winner.

Quick Take: Who is Dominic Lokinyomo Lobalu?
Lobalu formerly competed for the Athlete Refugee Team, which was founded by World Athletics in 2014 to give a chance for refugees and those without a country to compete at the sport’s biggest global events. In the past, ART members have been decent athletes but not competitive on the global stage (an ART member did not hit an Olympic standard until last year, when Tachlowini Gabriyesos qualified in the marathon). Lobalu left the ART in 2019 to move to Switzerland and by beating Kiplimo, running 7:29, and winning a Diamond League, he showed he’s one of the best runners in the world right now.
Lobalu grew up in Chukudum, South Sudan, but fled in 2007 amid the country’s civil war. He was eight years old. He moved to Kenya, where he eventually joined the ART in 2016 under the supervision of Tegla Loroupe in her camp in Ngong. Now Lobalu lives and trains in Switzerland, but his visa status means he cannot leave the country and return without special permission (similar to Luis Grijalva with his DACA status in the USA). That meant Lobalu has mostly raced against lesser competition in Switzerland the last few years (he ran 27:58 to win their 10,000 champs by almost two minutes earlier this month) but he was able to secure permission to travel to Stockholm and, spurred on by the competitive field, ran a massive pb.
The crazy thing is, as it stands, Lobalu will not be competing at Worlds this year as he doesn’t have the qualifying standard. Another issue would be securing permission from the Swiss government to travel to America and back with just two weeks to go until the meet.
For more on Lobalu, World Athletics profiled him in 2019 when he said his goal was to become the first refugee to win a global medal.
Quick Take: It was good to see Stewart McSweyn running well again
McSweyn was one of the best runners in the world last year, a fixture near the front of almost every Diamond League race from 1500 to 5000. So it’s been tough to see him look like a shell of himself this year as he recovered from COVID and/or a bad reaction to the vaccine. After running 3:48 in Doha and 3:44 in Birmingham, McSweyn’s 7:31 today was a big sign that he’s finally on the way back to normal.
Quick Take: Grant Fisher fans, were you watching this?
As Americans, we were watching this one with a close eye to see how Kiplimo looked as he hadn’t raced on the track all year. His last 50 wasn’t pretty but 7:29 is a time only one American has ever run (Bernard Lagat has the AR at 7:29.00, Galen Rupp is second at 7:30.16 indoors ), so we expect Kiplimo to be in the medal hunt.
Fisher did catch a huge break when it was revealed today that the Kenyan 10,000 champ, former half marathon WR holder Kibiwott Kandie, wasn’t named to the Kenyan team as he doesn’t have the 10,000 standard. Yes, you read that right. World Athletics doesn’t give you any credit for running 27:33 at altitude (which Kandie did to win the trials), which is clearly way better than the 27:28 standard. Starting in 2023, you can qualify for the 10,000 on the roads as well, but not this year (Kandie ran 26:50 on the roads in April).
We sounded off about this fact in our live instant reaction show that we recorded when the meet was over:
Women’s 800: Mary Moraa shows she is the real deal, takes down Keely Hodgkinson
After a busy weekend in Nairobi where she won the 400 (setting a national record of 50.84) and 800 (convincingly over Faith Kipyegon) at the Kenyan championships, Mary Moraa headed to Stockholm and passed her final test before Worlds with flying colors, handing Olympic silver medalist Keely Hodgkinson her first 800m defeat of the year, 1:57.68 to 1:58.18. American Sage Hurta, who had never broken 2:00 before this year, broke 1:59 for the second time in a week, following up her 7th-place finish at USAs with a 5th-place here in 1:58.95.
Moraa started quickly and actually led for most of the back straight before the pacemaker finally slotted in ahead of her at 200 meters. Moraa hit 400 in 57.7 but Hodgkinson, who was well-positioned in third just behind Moraa on the home straight, allowed Hurta to pass her and fell to fourth at the bell.
Hodgkinson eventually fought her way out of the box on the back straight into second on with 200 to go, but after running the final turn on Moraa’s shoulder, could not get around. Moraa, meanwhile, had another gear and accelerated into the final straight, immediately creating a gap. Hodgkinson would close it slightly over the final 50 meters but could never mount a serious challenge in the final 100 and would have to settle for second.

Quick Take: This was impressive from Mary Moraa
Moraa had a pb of 1:59.25 last year and didn’t make the Olympic final but has hit a new level recently, running 1:58.93 to win in Rabat. But in her next test in Rome, she took a step back, finishing 4th in 1:59.26 in a race won by Athing Mu in 1:57.01. Tonight was much better, however, as she took on another one of the event’s big dogs in Hodgkinson and beat her convincingly. Between tonight and her run at the Kenyan champs, that’s two 1:57’s in a week – with a 50.84 400 in between.
Looking ahead to Worlds, Moraa and Hodgkinson will both be firmly in the medal mix alongside all three Americans – Mu, Ajee’ Wilson, and Raevyn Rogers.
Quick Take: This was not Keely Hodgkinson’s best night
Hodgkinson made a tactical error just before the bell, giving up a good position without a fight and perhaps underestimating what it would take to overhaul Moraa on the second lap. It is a bit worrying that after running 1:57.72 and 1:57.71 in her last two DL races – both wins in Eugene and Oslo – Hodgkinson could only manage 1:58.18 and got beat tonight in Stockholm. She was also beaten in Stockholm last year in her last pre-Olympic race – in fact, she was only 4th – but she still ran fast in that race, 1:57.51 (a pb at the time).
Men’s 800: Slimane earns first DL win
Algeria’s Slimane Moula used an impressive final 100 to claim his first Diamond League victory, separating from the field to win in 1:44.66 as no one else could crack 1:45. The field was still very bunched coming off the final turn, when Moula moved past leader Collins Kipruto, and though Benjamin Robert (winner in Paris two weeks ago) and fellow Frenchman Gabriel Tual tried to run Moula down on the outside, neither could touch him. Kipruto, who led the entire way until 700, faded all the way to 7th in 1:45.86, while Olympic champ Emmanuel Korir was 5th in 1:45.85 after running near the front for much of the race.

Quick Take: There is no favorite for the men’s 800 at Worlds
Rather than one of the top guys solidifying themselves as the favorite, it seems like every week the event adds a new gold-medal contender. Enter Slimane Moula, who had never run the 800 before last year (he was a 400 guy until then) but has finished either 1st or 2nd in all six of his 800’s this year, including a win at the African champs earlier this month. Slimane can really close over the last 100, and in a field with little certainty, that may be enough to win a medal in Eugene. He could also just as easily miss the final. That’s the men’s 800 in 2022.
Quick Take: A step forward for Emmanuel Korir, but things haven’t gone great for him in 2022
2021 could hardly have gone better for Korir, who won the Olympic and Diamond League titles. But that was last year. 2022 has been significantly rougher: he was just 6th and 8th in his two 800’s before today, failing to break 1:46 in either. He did show flashes of his old self today by hanging near the front for the first 700m but he had nothing on the final straightaway and faded to 5th. Still, he has big-time speed (he ran 44.87 to win the Kenyan 400 champs last week) and putting together ⅞ of a race and running 1:45.85 is an improvement on what he had shown to this point in 2022.
One other thing to note about Korir: instead of wearing the kit Nike gives to all of its Olympic champions, Korir was racing today in a bright pink Nike top and what appeared to be adidas shoes.
It’s crazy to think Korir doesn’t have a contract less than a year after winning Olympic gold, but this sort of thing is not unprecedented. Leo Manzano raced unsponsored for the entire 2013 season after earning Olympic silver in 2012. Fact is, most shoe companies hand out contracts based on potential. An athlete like Korir may feel they deserve a huge raise for winning the Olympics, but in truth he’s far more likely to decline over the next few years than improve on last season.
Women’s steeplechase: Daisy Chepkemei runs away with it
In a battle of women not expected to be a factor at the World Championships, Daisy Chepekemei of Kazakhstan got the easy win in 9:15.77 ahead of France’s Alice Finot, who set a national record of 9:19.54. Nataliya Strebkova also set a national record for Ukraine in 4th in 9:24.54.
Chepekemei formerly competed for Kenya, where she was the U20 world champion in 2012. She ran away from the field soon after the rabbit quit pacing a little after the first kilometer.

Sprint events
Women’s 400 hurdles: Bol breaks the Diamond League record
Olympic bronze medalist Femke Bol’s fine 2022 campaign continued as she won her fourth straight 400 hurdles race of the year, improving her time with each one. The 52.27 she ran today in Stockholm was .34 faster than her winning time in Oslo two weeks ago, the second-fastest time of her life, and a Diamond League record. Had Bol handled the final hurdle a bit better – she stumbled slightly and landed awkwardly – she may have come close to her 52.03 pb.
The 22-year-old Bol looks to be peaking perfectly for Worlds and it wouldn’t be a shock to see her go under 52 seconds in Eugene. But she’ll still be a huge underdog against the greatest talent the hurdles has ever seen, American Sydney McLaughlin.

Men’s 400 hurdles: dos Santos blasts 46.80 world leader
Perhaps inspired by Rai Benjamin’s world-leading 47.04 in the 400 hurdles at Sunday’s US championships in Eugene, Brazilian Olympic bronze medalist Alison dos Santos stormed out of the blocks, opening a huge lead on the field and streaking to a world-leading 46.80 – just .08 off his pb and the 11th sub-47 performance in history. Even if Olympic champ/world record holder Karsten Warholm isn’t healthy enough to contend at Worlds, a showdown between Benjamin and dos Santos (the #2 and #3 men in history) should still be one of the best races of the championships next month in Eugene.

Women’s 200: Asher-Smith edges Kambundji in battle of world champs
The good news for reigning world champ Dina Asher-Smith is that she rebounded from her surprise defeat in the 100 at last week’s British champs by earning her first DL 200 win of 2022, running 22.37 to edge Switzerland’s World Indoor 60m champ Mujinga Kambundji by .003. The bad news is the time was not particularly fast – 22.37 won’t turn many heads with the Jamaicans and Americans running significantly faster at their trials this past weekend.
Final, Wind: +0.1

Men’s long jump: Tentoglou defeats home favorite Montler
Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece stayed red hot, winning his 13th straight competition by jumping 8.31m, just five centimeters off his season’s best. Tentoglou, who also won in Rabat and Oslo, was the only man over eight meters on the day as home favorite Thobias Montler of Sweden, the World Indoor runner-up, was second with a best of 7.98 meters. Unfortunately for Montler, that 7.98 – easily his best jump of the competition – came with a huge 2.8 m/s headwind. Had the wind been the same as it was for Tentoglou’s 8.31 (+1.7), there could well have been a different outcome.
