The 10,000 meter men’s race, won by Ibrahim Jeilan in a fight to the final meters over Mo Farah, the false start of Usain Bolt, the the subsequent win by Yohan Blake in the men’s 100 meters, will all go down as one of the races for the ages. And then, the unprecedented 1,2 by Trey Hardee and Ashton Easton in the decathlon. Eaton gutted out 5.8 seconds to take the silver out of the hands of Leonel Suarez of Cuba!
All caught by the PhotoRun team of photographers, who have been our key photo team since 1987! We hope that you enjoy the Photo Gallery, prepared by our non-sleeping Web director, Chuck Bartlett, in his office in Seattle, WA.
