American distance runner Grant Fisher has broken the world indoor 3000m record at the Millrose Games in New York.

Fisher clocked a time of 7:22.91 to smash the previous world record which belonged to Ethiopian, Lamecha Girma, set in 2022.

That time was 7:23.81, meaning that the 27-year-old has lowered the record by nearly one second.

This is Fisher’s first world record, with four American records also on his CV, ranging from 3000m all the way up to 10,000m.

The newly crowned world record holder has obviously been trying to build after last summer’s Olympics, with the American coming back from Paris with 2 bronze medals, one in the 5000m and one in the 10,000m.

However, it was not just Fisher who ran a time better than the previous record.

Fellow American and current 1500m Olympic Champion Cole Hocker ran the second fastest time in history, with a clocking of 7:23.14.

He too seems to be starting 2025 as he left 2024 after his sensational win in Paris, where he beat the likes of Ingebrigtsen and Kerr to the crown.

The Millrose Games continued throughout the course of the weekend, Februray 8 and 9, 2025, with American middle-distance runner Yared Nuguse breaking the world indoor mile record.

This came moments after fellow countryman Grant Fisher broke the world 3000m record not less than an hour ago.

Nuguse has run a time of 3:46.63, breaking the previous record of Ethiopian Yomif Kejelcha, who was clocked at 3:47.01 back in 2019.

The 25-year-old comes of the back of a strong 2024, finishing 3rd in the 1500m in Paris, behind fellow American Cole Hocker and Brit Josh Kerr.

Behind him, national teammate Hobbs Kessler also finished with a historic time, that being 3:46.90.

This makes the 21-year-old the second fastest in history on the boards, only behind Nuguse himself.

Kessler certainly seems to have improved over the winter months, building of his 5th place in the Olympic final last August, where he became the first American runner to do the 800m and 1500m double since 1976.

Behind the two Americans, Australian Cam Myers took home third position with an impressive 3:47.48. He is still only 18 years old.
