Coffee With Larry, Peachtree sign ups begin today, Eilish McColgan speaks, GAM media conference, why it’s so important, a new track at Stadio Olimpico Roma!

The Aviva London Super Grand Prix in London, two days of track & field, with six hours on BBC, has had some amazing races. Allyson Felix took fourth in the 200 meters, in one of her last races before the opening of the Games in less than two weeks.
One of the most tantilizing events was the women’s pole vault with Isinbayeva showing what happens when she has some competition. Her vaulting is excellent and her competitive nature gives her some advantage, but Stuczynski is learning and processing-should be a great battle in Beijing.
