Ethiopian dime Genzebe Dibaba storms to 1500m win at world championships

[BOBN]

Ethiopia’s Genzebe Dibaba stormed to victory in the 1500m at the world championships to claim her maiden global outdoor title and add to her family’s impressive collection of medals.

The 24-year-old, who set the world record in July, tired of a tactical race and hit the front with two laps to go, outpacing the field over the final 800m to win in 4min 8.09sec.

The sister of the triple Olympic champion Tirunesh and the cousin of the twice Olympic champion Derartu Tulu, Dibaba added the outdoor title to the indoor world crown she won in 2012.

She said: “I worked very hard for the last three years. It’s great to have such a strong performance. My sister won the gold medal in this stadium at the Olympic Games so I wanted to share this family experience.”

Nobody checking for a distance runner. Better put some sprinters on that list

Yup.

Give me a bubble butted sprinter broad. Not feeling the skeletal, "please feed me" look of a distance runner.
