HELSINKI (Reuters) - Tirunesh Dibaba a parachevé un doublé inédit en remportant la finale du 5.000m féminin des championnats du monde.
Dibaba l'a emporté samedi en 14'38"59, record des championnats, devançant au sprint sa compatriote Meseret Defar, championne olympique de la spécialité.
La soeur aînée de Dibaba, Ejegayehu, a pris la troisième place devant une autre Ethiopienne, Meselech Melkamu.
Dibaba produced a scintillating last lap of 58.53secs to claim the title in 30mins 25.41secs, leading home compatriots Berhane Adere, the defending champion, and her older sister EjagayehuDibaba in third.
Radcliffe was some 18 seconds off the pace, finishing ninth in 30:42.75 despite a typically courageous performance which had seen her take out the early pace with consistent 73- and 74-second laps.
All the time the Dibaba sisters and Adere looked utterly untroubled and her comeback lasted just two laps.
