K. Bekele closed faster here than at Sheffield.
His 2k split earlier in the year was 4:58.98, looks like he was a second back at this point in this race, but still finished better.
The 4:58,98 was from Monaco, in Sheffield Bekele had a 2000m split of 5:02,72. So he finished faster in Sheffield than in Stockholm today. I agree that he could better El Guerroujs 7:23,09, but the world record seems out of reach for him. But let's see...
Richards ran 48.70 last year for a new AR. Her pr is WELL ahead of Felix's - which is the time she ran today, as far as i can tell.

But Allyson dropped her PR by 0.7 second in the LAST WEEK. She didn't win because Richards ran slower. Felix ran almost a half second faster than in London, which was already a PR.
This one's starting to look a little like Coe-Ovett. Too bad the 200 and 400 WRs are soooo drug-enhanced.
Obviously, Felix won because Richards ran slower than her TODAY! PR's are nice for personal accomplishments, but the race was today and Felix won the race and a very nice diamond!

Whoops you're right, I should have checked what meet he ran what at. I even scribbled 'Monaco' above where I wrote 4:58.98, which is where he crossed 2k in his other 7:26.xx 3k race earlier this season.
