We've got the details on her 2016 plans here:

Seven distance stars have won double Olympic 10,000 gold - Paavo Nurmi, Emil Zatopek, Lasse Viren, Haile Gebrselassie, Kenenisa Bekele, and Derartu Tulu - but no one has won three. Can Dibaba be the first?

If Ayana doesn't go for the 10k, Tiru would be the clear favorite for me even if she isn't at her best.
If Ayana does try the double, Tiru would need to be in sub 30 minute shape, something that would be very unlikely for an athlete that hasn't raced in two years.
I vote yes because I bet Ayana focuses on the 5k.

Is T.'s sister going to run the 5K?

Probably not. Remember the 10k takes place easier than 5k, so ayana will be fresh. Also ayana doesn't kick, so she will be pushing the pace. If dibaba is in 2008 form, then yes she can beat ayana. If not, highly unlikely.

You've mixed up your Dibabas.

I pretty sure they both have the same suppliers so....
It is unbelievable that these girls haven't been banned from competition, all there past results stricken from the record, and been sent home DEVASTATED yet.
