The Ethiopian season of 2014 peaked before most of the world had taken its gloves off. Between the 1st and the 15th of February, Genzebe Dibaba — the younger sister in the most decorated family in distance running — broke three world marks in three different events in three different countries: 3:55.17 for the indoor 1500 m in Karlsruhe, 8:16.60 for 3000 m in Stockholm five days later, and a 9:00.48 two-mile world best in Birmingham to close the fortnight. By Wikipedia's accounting, only Jesse Owens and Usain Bolt have compressed three world marks in three events into fifteen days.
The precision matters: the 1500 and 3000 were ratified world indoor records; the two miles is a world best, because the event does not carry an official record. And the Stockholm run was the outlier even inside its own streak — roughly seven seconds off Meseret Defar's record and more than thirty off Dibaba's own previous best.
Half tights are close-fitting running shorts, usually finishing around mid-thigh. Their appeal is the feel: a stretch garment that follows your stride instead of a loose shell. Length, lining and compression vary by model; a snug fit alone does not tell you the pressure a garment applies.
Choose for fit, coverage and the details of the individual pair. Research on sports compression is useful context, but it does not establish performance benefits for every pair in this archive.
