"Natalya Nazarova set a World Indoor best over the seldom-run 500 metres, clocking 1:07.36 at a Moscow athletics meet..Nazarova, World 400 metres Indoor champion, beat the time of 1:07.67, set by compatriot Olga Nazarova 16 years ago."

Interesting that the other Nazarova set her record in an Olympic year ('88), then went 49.11 in the Seoul semi before taking the bronze medal. And she ran that crucial 47.9 second leg of the 3:15.17 WR which gave the Soviets a lead they never relinquished, despite Flojo.
