Jenny Simpson added another accolade to her stellar 2014 season. Just when it looked like Ethiopia's Genzebe Dibaba had the race locked down, Simpson showed her speed by catching Dibaba and passing her down the straightaway to win by half a second in 4:00.38.

Relive the magic that is Jenny Simpson here:



Other FloRunner of the Week nominees:

Gordon's pick: Lynsey Sharp
Lynsey Sharp is my FloRunner of the Week because she won the 800m. If she lost the 800m race she would not be my FloRunner of the Week, but because she won the race she became my FloRunner of the Week. It's quite simple, win and you become Gordon's FloRunner of the Week. Oh and she also took down a stacked field.


Lincoln's pick: Mo Farah
Perhaps tired of the noise that he has been dodging competition, Farah put that to rest by running 8:07.85 to win the Birmingham 2-mile. Maybe it wasn’t the strongest field, but Mo went all out to destroy Steve Ovett’s British record that had stood for 36 years. Especially impressive was Mo’s 2nd mile, clocked at 4:00.

Joe's pick: Usain Bolt
Usain Bolt picked up his 8th career world record on Saturday when he ran 9.98 in the 100m at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial in Poland, breaking the world indoor mark of 10.05 set by Frankie Fredericks of Namibia in 1996. Ordinarily we would make a big deal out of a world record, except who the heck runs indoors in August? No one. 

James' pick: Jairus Birech
As a retired steeplechaser, it is always easy to appreciate a great steeple effort when I see one...even if it isn't pretty. Jairus Birech opened up an insane lead but as the final barrier was within stride, he realized his steps were off. Unable to catch himself, he panicked and stopped, hurling himself foolishly over the barrier in a novice-style, scissor-kick fashion. He still set a meet record of 8:07.80.
