MONACO (MON): Genzebe Dibaba’s main goal for the 2015 season is to win the World 5000 m title in Beijing, inform IAAF. The 2014 World Athlete of the Year candidate also has high goals for the indoor season, where she hopes to break the world indoor 5000m record in Stockholm before racing the mile in Birmingham. Serving as an interpreter for Genzebe was her 18 year old sister Anna, the latest in the line of the Dibaba dynasty, which also includes Olympic silver medallist Ejegayehu. Anna started training last year, while her 16-year-old sister Melat may also be a name for the future.
