14:11.15 Tirunesh Dibaba (ETH) in Oslo, Norway on June 6, 2008

Tirunesh Dibaba finished strong to set the 5000-meter mark of 14:11.15 during an IAAF meet in Oslo, Norway on June 6, 2008. Dibaba's performance remains subject to the standard IAAF ratification procedures. Taking aim at the record, the Ethiopian followed the pacesetter through 3000 meters in 8:38.38, three seconds behind the record pace. Dibaba's sister Ejegayehu helped pace Tirunesh for about the next 600 meters. The younger Dibaba then ran the final lap in just under 1:04.
