It's another record for Sifan Hassan.
View this post on Instagram

I am so happy to have run a new European record, especially a record that has stood for so long by such a strong athlete as Paula. It was a very difficult race today as it was so cold and wet. I was feeling really strong today and wished for a bit better conditions, but this record gives me a lot of confidence going into the World Half Marathon Championships next week in Poland where I hope for another great race.
