NEWS - 19.08.2006IAAF.org: Shaheen tops the middle and long distance barnburners in Zurich
Saif Saaeed Shaheen fell a little short on his assault on his own 3,000m steeple World Record, but he did yet again display his absolute dominance of the event in Zurich. With the clock reading 6:54 as he passed the bell, Shaheen was already more than a full straight of the track ahead of the chase pack, but more than two seconds behind the world record pace. He reached the finish in 7:56.54, a meet record, but just under his 7.56.32 world leader from Athens. More...NEWS - 15.07.2006IAAF.org: Golden League, Rome: Dibaba has the better sprint again
In Paris last Saturday (8), Olympic champion Meseret Defar had set the agenda, now tonight it was the World title holder Tirunesh Dibaba who was dictating the tactics, and as a result we were treated to another splendid last lap sprint between the two petite Ethiopians in the women’s 5000m. Whereas a week ago Defar had set out her stall and let the World champion make a counter attack, tonight Dibaba never allowed the World record holder to get her nose in front. The bell sounded with 13:55 on the clock, and soon after Defar’s pursuit of Dibaba began, as both women kicked. Defar never came closer than about 5 metres of her compatriot, with Dibaba showing a fleet turn of speed to close on the finish in 14:52.37, with Defar second in 14:53.51. The top-8 broke 15 minutes.
