Fifth place in Doha in the women's 1500 went to a certain Gega Luiza of Albania - yes Albania - this is the first time, if I am not mistaken, that this country (Albania) had produced a world class runner.
Not a bad thing, and Albania is a country blessed with a good Mediterranean climate, mountainous terrain, some areas over 1500m for altitude etc.
Should be interesting for the future.
