Genzebe dibaba in the footsteps of her sister

In the Dibaba family, there is the eldest Ejegayehu, silver medal in 10 000 m at the Athens Olympics and double world champion cross, the youngest Tirunesh and her five World Championships (three gold medals Olympic) , in addition to the cousin Derartu Tulu, the first black african woman to win an Olympic title. For two years, we must now count on the youngest Genzebe, breathtaking indoor.
And the young ethiopian athlete, 24, intend to "kill her sisters", this thursday, June 11, by attacking the world record in the 5,000 m, held by Tirunesh since 2008. "Now it 's for me to come in and break that record", said she dropped in the introduction of the Oslo meeting.
Too full of confidence which is easily explained : Genzebe Dibaba maddens counters, to the point of holding the world records in the 1,500 m, 3,000 m and of the 5000 m. And the heiress is in shape as evidenced by her 14'19''76 made there about ten days in Eugene (USA). Simply the fifth lap of the history of the distance.
The only question mark for Genzebe, his ability to make outdoor performances. Her records indoors are, yet, superior to his personal records, despite considerably banked turns and a more confined air. A paradox that doesn't seem worry her coach Jama Aden.
