Genzebe Dibaba will attempt to break world records in the Mile and in the 1500m in June. 

World's currently best female runner on the track Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia is scheduled to compete at the IAAF Oslo and Stockholm Diamond League meets in June. 

Dibaba will first line up at the ExxonMobil Bislett Games on 9 June where she will attempt to break the mile world record.
