Athletics: Tirunesh Dibaba broke the women's 5,000metres world record tonight with a stunning run at the Exxon Mobil Bislett Games in Oslo.
Dibaba broke free of the field two kilometres from the finish to set a time of 14mins 11.15secs, knocking more than five seconds off the mark of 14:16.63 set by her fellow Ethiopian, Meseret Defar, last year.
Dibaba had been three seconds off the pace of Defar's effort until launching a thrilling surge in the second half of the race to beat the record by a comfortable margin.
Meanwhile, Ireland's Paul Hession claimed second place in the 200 metres while Derval O'Rourke's first race of the season saw her take bronze in the 100 metres hurdles.
