Ethiopia's Tirunesh Dibaba broke the World record in the women's 5,000 meters Friday night in Oslo, Norway. A two-time World 10,000m champion, Dibaba demolished the World record by over five seconds, winning the women's 5,000m in 14:11.15. The previous World record of 14:16.63 was set by compatriot Meserat Defar at this meeting in 2007. 2004 Olympian Jen Rhines finished the race in fifth in a personal best 14:54.29. It is the sixth fastest performance of all time by an American.
