Russia’s Gulnara Galkina-Samitova set a new Olympic and world record in the women’s steeplechase on Sunday, breaking the nine-minute barrier with a time of 8:58.81 to claim gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Galkina-Samitova outpaced Kenya’s Eunice Jepkorir Kertich who had to hold on to claim the silver with a time of 9:07.41.
It was almost a one-two finish for Russia as Ekaterina Volkova took the bronze just behind Kertich with a time of 9:07.64.
