Ethiopia's Genzebe Dibaba set a sixth world indoor record in Sabadell, Spain, on Tuesday by posting a new 2 000-metres mark.
On the eve of her 26th birthday, the Olympic 1 500-metres silver medallist ran a time of 5min 23.75sec in Catalonia.
Also the outdoor 1 500m world
record holder, Dibaba has the best indoor marks for 1 500m, the mile, 3 000m, two miles and 5 000m.
Dibaba's 2 000m time knocked almost seven seconds off the old record by Romania's Gabriela Szabo, which had stood since 1998.
Her time is also faster than the outdoor 2 000m mark set by Ireland's Sonia O'Sullivan in 1994.
