    Dibaba looked smooth and in control as she powered to a huge WR -- will the same happen outdoors this summer?

    Last season Bekele clocked 12:49i WR and 12:37 WR -- if that same indoor/outdoor comparison is applied to Dibaba's new indoor mark, that estimates 14:19 for Dibaba -- and comparing the mens 10km WR to 5k WR as to Paula's 30:01, which says the women's 5km WR (all things being equal to the men) should be around 14:23.

    My guess is that Dibaba and possibly others run 14:23 or better and may crack 14:20, and possibly 8:20 if they're in the right race.

    With many indoor facilities sporting banked turns, fast new surfaces, controlled weather, rabbits, etc., they are potentially faster than outdoor tracks. Also, few who run spectacular times indoor are in the hunt outdoor. They tend to be the exception, not the rule. All that said, I don't think fast times indooor indicates we will see the same assult on records outdoor.
