Isabelle Pedersen received wonderful responses to the 100-meter hurdle at the Diamond League Congress in London. In the final, she was about to copy the record of the start of the day

The mountain senator lowered the nine-year Norway record of Christina Vukicevic Sunday in the semifinals. He made two hundredths after scoring 12.72.

An hour later Pedersen scored 12.73 and became number eight in the final. In other words, it was two solitary races of 26 years, which is in a hurry before the European Championships in Berlin next month.

Pedersen chased Vukicevic's record for several years. On Sunday, she finally managed to take the throne as Norway's fastest woman on a 100-meter hurdle. The record run of the semifinal held fourth place in the heat of Pedersen.

Before Sunday's race, she had 12.76 in an annual record and 12.75 in personal best.

It was an American triple on the podium. The final was won by Kendra Harrison at 12.36. Brianna McNeal and Sharika Nelvis became number two and three.
