2018 IAAF World Indoor Championships – Women's 3000 Metres
The women's 3000 metres at the 2018 IAAF World Indoor Championships took place on 1 March 2018. Summary In the first running event at these championships, world record holder Genzebe Dibaba was back to defend her title, while none of the women she vanquished returned, though Laura Muir, Sifan Hassan and Meraf Bahta had beaten Dibaba in her outdoor 1500 meltdown from the previous year. The race took off at a leisurely pace, with Muir taking the pack through a 1:15.31 first lap, marked by 5000 world champion Hellen Obiri.

With the injection of pace, Dibaba decided to move forward on the next straightaway to mid pack, then with a big acceleration on the next straightaway. As Dibaba passed, her teammate Fantu Worku popped out of the pack to tag along, both reaching a gap at the front b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
