Athletics: Russian surges to world record

In athletics, Russia's Yelena Soboleva has broken her own indoor world record, but says she was so tired before hand she was happy just to finish the race.

She romped to the 1500 metres victory in 3 minutes 58 seconds at the Russian National Championships in Moscow.

That shaves off 0.2 seconds off her previous best, which was also a world best, also set in Moscow almost two years ago.
