Dibaba Sets New World Record In Monaco Iaaf Diamond League by Vyolet(f): 3:29pm On Jul 18, 2015 |
Ethiopian Athlete,Genzebe Dibaba achieved what many had believed to be unachievable , breaking the 1500 m world record* with a time of 3: 50. 07. Qu Yunxia ' s mark of 3: 50 . 46, set at the 1993 National Games , was considered to be one of the toughest world records on the books . But in a perfectly judged race, world indoor 800 m champion Chanelle Price paced Dibaba through 400m in 1: 00 . 31 and 800m in 2: 04 . 52 before leaving the Ethiopian to finish . Dibaba still had European champion Sifan Hassan for company as she passed the bell in 2: 50 . 3, but the two -time world indoor champion kicked hard. With 100 m left to run , it became clear that Dibaba was , at the very least, going to get close to the world record. But she charged for the line , crossing it in 3: 50. 07 to become the fastest 1500 m runner in history . In a race of great depth , six women ran faster than four minutes . Hassan clocked a national record of 3: 56 . 05 in second , while Rowbury broke the North American record with 3: 56. 29 in third. 2011 world champion Jenny Simpson recorded her second -fastest time ever with 3: 57. 30 in fourth. Britain ’ s Laura Muir and Maureen Koster of the Netherlands were fifth and sixth, smashing their PBs with 3: 58. 66 and 3: 59. 79 respectively . “The pacemaker did a great job, ” said Dibaba. “I’ m the first athlete from Ethiopia to break the world record in the 1500m ; that is amazing . http://m.iaaf.org/news/report/monaco-diamond-league-2015-dibaba-world-record |
