Tirunesh Dibaba wins the 3000-Meter Run of the 100th Millrose Games on Friday, Feb. 2, 2007, at Madison Square Garden in New York.  Held annually since 1908, the Millrose Games is the nation’s longest running invitational track meet and Madison Square Garden’s longest running sporting event. Just a week earlier in Boston, Dibaba had shattered the world record in the women’s 5,000 meters.  According to Jere Longman of the New York Times, “She wore diamond earrings and strode so elegantly and lightly in pursuit of a world record that her feet could not be heard on the banked track at the Reggie Lewis Center.” Dibaba put on a solo effort in the 5,000 that was nothing short of awesome. Known in some circles as “the baby-faced destroyer,” Dibaba destroyed her own world and Ethiopian record, running 14:27.42 to crush her own record of 14:32.93 set in 2005.
