Dibaba and Soulieman both look to be in grand form, as well as training hard in a recent video from Sabadell (
https://youtu.be/GpdMtB72iTg). What was the reason for Dibaba's withdrawal from all races thus far in her outdoor season? Why was Soulieman conspicuously absent from the Nike Pre meet, and all other DL races this season? I'm honestly asking. Were they on super secret suspension, and another entity (Spain) hadn't recieved the memo?
I have been saying for 2 years that something is not right with GD, I said long before her 3:50. A lot Ethiopian athletes and even her family members seem to have distanced themselves from her. Unlike her sister, GD accomplishments have barely been celebrated Ethiopia. I read 2 weeks ago that the Ethiopian federation was unaware of her injury and that she has missed a mandatory training camp. Also, from watching 2 workout videos, she appears to be stringing together multiple sub-60 400s almost like a sub-4 miler. Based on those workouts, she should be able break the 800m WR.
