Genzebe Dibaba Wants To Double At 2016 World IndoorsPublished by RunBlogRun on September 17, 2015 World 1500m title-holder Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia was still feeling the effects of her world championships double when she secured the Diamond League trophy in the 3000m/5000m category in Zurich last week. "After Beijing, I was fatigued and so I came second," said Dibaba in an interview with RunBlogRun. She ran 8:26.54 in the September 3 Zurich Weltklasse 3000m, to the winner and new world 5000m champion Almaz Ayana's 8:22.34, but Dibaba had amassed enough points in the IAAF Diamond League to take the series trophy. "My foot was sore as I ran five races in 10 days," said Dibaba, who competed in three rounds of the 1500 and two of the 5000 in Beijing from August 22 to 30. She lost the longer final to her compatriot Ayana on the last day of the championships, before being also beaten to the silver by teammate Senbere Teferi. Read the full article at: www.runblogrun.com
