The 1912 Olympic stadium knows a thing or two about World records and best performances, during its history it has witnessed a total of 83 in the sport of track and field athletics. Running is a part of the Stadium's soul and visiting athletes have always appreciated the great atmosphere and the knowledgeable spectators, and so it comes as no surprise that Meseret Defar of Ethiopia, the 2004 Olympic and 2007 World 5000m champion has chosen Stockholm for her attack at the 5000m World record on 6 August at the DN Galan - Samsung Diamond League meeting.

Galen Rupp ran another PR on Saturday. His 13:10.05 at Gateshead moved him up to 8th on the US all-time list, just .05 seconds away from Adam Goucher--the man once thought to be America's next great hope at 5000m--and yet the performance was met with little of the fanfare we might have expected just two years ago.
