Men's 200m up next. Webb, Edward and DeGrasse are the names to watch.

Unfortunate about Trayvon. I really wanted to see him face off with De Grasse in the 200m.

DeGrasse takes it in 20.16 (-1.5m/s) SB! Would have been sub-20 with a fair legal tailwind (Edward 2nd in 20.17).

20.65 for Ellington in 7th, 20.70 for Ujah in 8th (he did the 100m earlier).

De Grasse looking a lot better than in his previous outings.

Surprised to see Webb finish so far back. Jetlag?

He looked TERRIBLE in Rome.

Indeed, his second 100m was one of the worst I've seen from such an elite sprinter. I was thinking it was more of an aberration though. A cramp or something.

Hopefully there won't be any stupid headwinds or tailwinds in the women's 100m final.

Gardner takes it, a much better start. Schippers second. Unfavourable wind so no sub-11.

DAS looked good. Henry didn't run as well as I expected she would.

Win goes to Gardner in 11.02 (-1.2m/s)! Schippers 2nd in 11.09, Bartoletta 3rd in 11.11.

DAS 4th in 11.22, Nelson 5th in 11.24, Henry 7th in 11.32.

Rudisha the big name in the men's 600m (ugh, why not 800m?).

The men's 3,000m field is, as expected, one that won't be taxing on Mo.

Oh, and here's that 400mH photo finish. Shame there isn't a picture from the other side.

Rudisha pushed by Bosse to a 1:13.10 WL and AR! 1:13.21 AR for Bosse!

1:15.87 PB for Rimmer in 5th.

Andrew Cotter virtually writing Rudisha off before the race. Silly man.

African record for Rudisha. Terrific European record for Bosse off the back of his DL 800 win.

"Surprises us all" - speak for yourself. The result was what I expected.

Same set up every year, twice a year.
Asking Seb who could beat Mo, he stutters and says, "Today?", giving himself time to think up his answer, and then when he realises he is being asked about Rio, he says the challenge will be Ethiopian or Kenyan. Haha what a cop out! He can't even remember names.

Mo wins, as expected - that said, beating Moorcroft's NR is worthy of note. It's now 7:32.62.

BTW, Imani Lanisquot clocked a 11.28 (+0.9m/s?) PB in Newham today.

Pretty enjoyable meet, that. IIRC, there were 4 world leads in the Olympic-class events, plus the men's 3,000m.

And the best news of the day - Perri's back!

Solid 3rd leg running with Massey, Laviai Nielsen and Diamond in Germany, time of around 3:28.

Just seen highlights of the hurdles. How was Eilidh Doyle not given that victory? It looked like she did in real time and the photo certainly indicated she did

LOL, Collins wins another one! 10.11 (-0.8m/s) for the win; Rodgers 10.11 and Ujah 10.12.

Gemili bringing up the rear in 10.29...
What's up with Gemili this year?
