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. Sweden´s star and World champion Abeba Aregawi also tried hard with positive splits towards the former world record of Yelena Soboleva (Aregawi 62.83-2:08.02-3:11.82 and Soboleva 63.1-2:09.7-3:13.1) and won the 1500 m in new continental record and second fastest ever 3:57.91. 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). Behind him Ayanleh Souleiman 3:35.2 NR, Bethwell Birgen 3:35.3, Aman Wote 3:36.4 and Caleb Ndiku 3:36.8 indoor PB. Until Thursdayworld leader Silas Kiplagat was 8th (3:38.7) and Karlsruhe winner Nixon Chepseba 9th (3:39.7). Rest of the World leads in women jumps. Russian Mariya Kuchina extended her indoor undefeated streak of the year with 201 PB (Emma Green Tregaro second 196) and top two in pole vault cleared 472 new world lead, winner on count back Silke Spiegelburg ahead of Nikoleta Kyriakopoulou (for her overall  Greek record). 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.
