Abstract: We prove that a $2$-stein space equipped with a non-vanishing vector field $\xi$ such that the $\xi$-sectional curvature is pointwise constant is a space of constant sectional curvature. From this it then follows that a harmonic space equipped with a unit Killing vector field such that its flow is normal, has constant sectional curvature.

Keywords: Harmonic manifolds, 2-stein spaces, normal flows.

Classification (MSC2000): 53C25
