Audrey Werro Closing In on 800m Record | Jamaica News

Audrey Werro is blazing a trail in the 800 meters, smashing her own personal best with a stunning 1:53.70 in Zurich — a new Swiss national record and the third-fastest time ever run. At just 22, she now holds four of the top ten times in the event and is closing in on the 43-year-old world record set by Jarmila Kratochvilova. Though she didn’t break the record this time — the race was too chaotic — Werro’s consistent sub-1:54 pace proves she’s unstoppable. Meanwhile, Femke Broeders-Bol shattered the Dutch record at 1:54.71, inspired by Werro’s dominance, while Georgia Hunter Bell ran a season’s best 1:55.03 and plans to return to the 1,500 meters. With her goals already met for the year, Werro’s running purely for joy — but the world record may not be far behind.
