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.
