On this occasion, DIBABA will be on running the 3000m, in an attempt to add a third meeting record to her plamares (The meeting record was set by Gabriela SZABO with 8: 21.42 in July 19th, 2002, and which is still the current European record).<\/p>\n

With a personal best and African record of 8:16.60 established at the indoor meeting in Stockholm in 2014, DIBABA will have all the cards in her hands to write again her name in the history of Herculis.<\/p><\/div>\n

Indeed, everyone still has in mind the 5000m in 2014 where she established a new world lead and a meeting record of 14:28.88, but especially her victory last year in the 1500m in 3:50.07 that has not only allowed her to set off the previous meeting record which was 3:56.97 by SZABO in 1998, but above all to establish a new world record, erasing the previous one of 3: 50.48 which was 23 years old.<\/div>\n
And to not forget any information, the world record in the 3000m in 8:06.11 was set in 1993.<\/div>\n
As one of the last meetings before the Olympics games in Rio in August, Herculis Monaco will offer to the athletes a final opportunity to tune their settings, and so offers to the loyal and numerous spectators, an undoubtedly breathtaking show !<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
