First indoor season ( 11) consisted of four 1500m races within just 12 days: On all occasions left the opponents in second half to win unopposed (margins between 1.89 and 3.62 seconds)... Injury problems following summer, returned in full force in May 12 with PB 3:59 for 2nd place in Shanghai Diamond League... Ran six out seven 12 DL 1500mraces collecting three 1st, one 2nd and two 3rd places to take the overall title... In 12 Olympics after winning heat and semi with ease unlucky in final as a runner fell immediately in front of her at the bell. Barely avoided falling herself but lost momentum and the contact with the runners at the front. Did narrow the gap somewhat but was unable to really challenge for a medal despite finishing just 0.80 behind winner... Opened her 13 at XL-galan (Stockholm) on 21 February with a bang running 3:58.40, the 2nd fastest ever just 12 hundredths off the WIR... With her relaxed, smooth long stride thrives off fast even paces: In Stockholm race 100m-sections were consistently reeled off in /- a couple of tenths before speeding up to sub-15 for the last two... At 13 European Indoors won the 1500m by a whopping and in modern athletics unmatched 9.72 seconds... Outdoors in 13 a perfect record of victories in 9 out of 9 competitions including Worlds and 6 DL... Same format as last year for the indoor season, i.e. the XL-galan in Stockholm and the international championship... Just like in 13 ran second fastest ever in the Stockholm meet. 3
