Oslo - Gulnara Samitova-Galkina beat fellow-Russian world champion Ekaterina Volkova with a 2008 world leading result in the 3,000 metres steeplechase on Friday night at the second stop of the Golden League series.
The world record holder Samitova-Galkina clocked 9 minutes 14.77 seconds with Volkova trailing in 9:18.24 minutes at the Bislett Games.
