After watching Dibaba's kick over the last three years, I'm left wondering how fast she could go in the 400/800/1500. Anybody have a clue?

Based on Dibabas`finishing speed in the 5000 (finishes last lap in 57-58 seconds), suggests that Dibaba should be able to run around 1:57/800 and around 3:55 for 1500, or faster.
didn't she run the last 400 of her 10k faster than the last 400 of the 800m at the world champs? you'd think the first 24 laps of the 10k would be harder on you than the first lap of an 800.
I think it would be fair to put her at:
400m (54.0) - 1:57 (58.5) - 3:56 (63.0) - 8.24 (67.2) - 14:25 (69.2) - 30:00 (72.0)

400 56
800 1.57
1500 3.53
3000 8.15
5000 14.15
10000 29.30

I would say it would have to be around 54 or slightly under to run 157. YOU TOOK MY NAME!!! SORTOF
800m: I think she could run her 1st lap in 59 and her second lap in 56.
1:55.
