This was only five days after her fine 3:55.17 in Karlsruhe. Jenny Simpson, World Champion at 1,500m from 2011 and silver medalist from 2013, told the media, “That is some fast running. I need to get into shape!” 


Genzebe into other world
STOCKHOLM (SWE, Feb 6): The jubilee 25th edition of XL Galan (IAAF Indoor Permit) in Globe Arena before some 8000 spectators was a very special one. One amazing World Indoor record, one European Indoor record, 5 more World leads, one more arena record and World Youth indoor best were perfect statistics. The top highlight was women 3000 m where Genzebe Dibaba improved the global indoor mark of Meseret Defar (8:23.72) by 7.12 seconds with 8:16.60 what is the best mark indoor or outdoor ever when not counting the times from National Games in Beijing 1993. It was also 9th senior World indoor record in the meet history. And she was alone again after first km and from four seconds plus for the record pace she gradually improved it to final seven seconds (2:48.65, 5:34.25 at 2000 m was close to all-time best at the distance 5:30.53). Her next race should be 3000 m in Birmingham on February 15. Second Hellen Obiri Kenyan indoor record 8:29.99, third Irene Jelagat 8:40.75 over Viola Kibiwott 8:43.42 and Almaz Ayana 8:43.47.

Second Gudaf Tsegay of Ethiopia got World Youth indoor all-time best 4:08.47. Mohamed Aman clocked World leading 1:45.08 in the 800 m and missed his national record only by 0.03. He was followed by Europeans Marcin Lewandowski 1:45.56 and Kevin Lopez of Spain 1:45.69 PB. Another world lead for Moroccan surprise Mohamed Moustaoui just coming from CC win in Albufeira in 3:35.0 PB at the 1500 m (only hand times after timing malfunction).

Third Jirina Svobodova 464, fourth World champ 2011 Fabiana Murer 442 and coming from injury World champ 2009 Anna Rogowska no-heighted at 442. Excellent also the 45.66 by Eurochamp Pavel Maslak in the 400 m, the second fastest ever in arena, European lead 2014 and second fastest in the World 2014. He also equaled his indoor NR from European Indoors 2013. He beat Olympic medalist Luguelin Santos 45.89 NR and Nick Ekelund-Arenander with Danish record 46.31 from lane 1. New Arena record by World Youth Champion Irene Ekelund in women 200 m 23.48. Dayron Robles finally for first time won in his fourth meet of the season the hurdles with 7.62 over Jeff Porter 7.66 and world leader Pascal Martinot-Lagarde 7.76. High quality in men long jump as top five went over 8 meters (Makusha 818, Torneus 814, Saladino 811, Li Jinzhe 803 and Reif 802) with season bests. German European Champion 2010 Verena Sailer won the 60 m (7.22) and Moscow bronze medalist Ivana Spanovic with 658 beat by 1 cm in long jump home Erica Jarder 6.57.
