Defar sets new WR

Ethiopia's 5,000 metres world champion Meseret Defar set a new world indoor record in the women's 5,000 metres at the Stockholm meeting on Wednesday.
The 25-year-old timed 14min 24.37sec, organisers said, nearly three seconds faster than the previous record of 14:27.42 set by her long time Ethiopian rival Tirunesh Dibaba in 2007.
