On her return to Stockholm four months later Genzebe could be bringing the outdoor record with her as well since she will contest the mile at Bislett Games in neighbouring Oslo one week ahead of BAUHAUS-galan.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028\u2028\u201dStockholm is my second home. I have such a following here, the crowds are all behind me\u201d, stated Genzebe Dibaba who won at four Diamond League Meetings last year on her way to the 1500 metres World Championships title in Beijing.
