The XL Galan meet was, once again, another tremendous example of how exciting an indoor track meet can be! Six world leaders, with some amazing performances that show European athletes, but also Athletes from the US, Middle East and North Africa amazingly fit! 

Mohammed Aman ran 1:45.07, winning by over a second and taking Michael Rimmer’s WL by 1.5 seconds! Aman continues to impress! Ayanleh Souleiman of Qatar ran a fine 2:17.05, a world leader at 1,000 meters. Marcin Lewandowski continued his fine running in 2013, with his 2:17.77. Matt Centrowitz, who finished sixth, ran 2:19.56, five days after his 3:51.34 mile. 

And then there is Galen Rupp. Galen was hoping for a 5,000 meters last weekend, but the race was cancelled in Birmingham at the British Athletics Grand Prix. Galen, running his second 3,000 meters of the season, ran a brilliant 7:30.16, which set an AR for the 3,000 meters and also gave Galen the world leader! With his 3:50.92 in the mile this indoor season, Galen is showing that he has some serious leg speed, and his last 2,000 meters in the 10,000 meters will be something to see! 

Michel Torneus, the Swedish long jumper, picked the right meet to shine, jumping a fine 8.20m, giving Mr. Menkov (8.22m this season) someone to think about! Torneus is my spoiler pick for the Europeans, March 1-3. 

On the womens’ side, well, all I can say, is, “Amazing”! 

Abeba Aregawi won the 1,500 meters by over twelve seconds! She also ran the world leading 3:58.40, by herself, missing the world record by .12! What the heck? Aregawi has run some fast times in the past, but this indoors, and so early in the year? Dynamo Hum! 

Then, to keep in interesting, Genzeba Dibaba runs the 3,000m in 8:26.57. Winning by 22 seconds over Eliish McColgan, the daughter of WC Liz McColgan, who ran 8:49.31. 
Oh, Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce sure looks good, running 7.04, screaming the 60 meters. Notice Irene Ecklund, of Sweden, who ran 7.34. Irene is fifteen, and broke the Swedish junior record! Nice to see some Swedish juniors coming through the system. 

Yarislay Silva, of Cuba, the Olympic silver medalist, jumped 4.78m, the new World Leader, and tried 4.81m. She is looking strong. Holly Bleasdale cleared 4.45m, a minimal day for the young Brit who has cleared 4.77m this season. Angelica Bengston also cleared 4.45m.
