Reebok International Ltd. of nearby Canton, Mass., secures title sponsorship of the Boston Indoor Games, citing its desire to form a partnership with the best indoor track meet in North America and one of the best in the world. It is rewarded by a 5000m World Record from the phenomenal Tirunesh Dibaba; a brave run by Olympic gold medalist Kenenisa Bekele, competing in his first race since the sudden death of his fiancée and getting nipped at the line in a brilliant run by Alistair Cragg; and the ebullience of Carolina Kluft, the Athens heptathlon gold medalist.
