Hassan the Star On a Night of Six World Leads in Karlsruhe

Published by IAAF on January 31, 2015

The Netherlands’ 2014 European 1500m champion Sifan Hassan provided the outstanding performance at the first IAAF Indoor Permit meeting of 2015 when she sped to a national record and world-leading 1500m time of 4:02.57 at the Indoor Meeting Karlsruhe on Saturday (31).

Hassan moved away from Ethiopia’s 20-year-old Axumawit Embaye off the final bend, although the latter was second in an indoor personal best of 4:02.92.

There were five other 2015 world-leading marks in the German city.

Turkey’s Ilhan Tanui Ozbilan won the men´s 1500m in 3:38.05, edging out Kenya’s Nixon Chepseba who was second in 3:38.12.

France’s Dmitri Bascou won the 60m hurdles in 7.53, having run the same time in his heat.

“Moments after the start tonight (in the final), I made a big mistake. Had this not happened, I would have run under 7.50 tonight," reflected Bascou.

China's Xie Wenjun was second in 7.62 as Great Britain's Lawrence Clarke was third in 7.63, equalling his personal best.
