I didn't watch the race.What happened to Dibaba? was it a sprint finish or a long hard run to the line.I am surprised by Masai's performance.i Know she is good but didn't think is in tirunesh level.

Masai, Dibaba, and Dibaba were together with a few laps left. It was pretty awesome watching how their legs all moved in unison and so fast. Then Genzebe got dropped as Masai and Dibaba started to kick. With a lap to go, Masai started putting on a sarge and Dibaba just couldn't catch her.

Dibaba stated she got fat after marriage and was injured.
