David Rudisha is running the 600 meters in the Birmingham. This is his first time racing the distance. ” I want to out in high 46 point or low 47 point for the 400 meters.”

Valerie Adams is going for her 55th straight win in the shot put. When asked what other event she would like to do. Jokingly, she noted, ” the marathon.” Actually, Valerie Adams and her sister played basketball as juniors.

Lots of great matchups in only a few hours!

May I say that @spectrum's internet service sucks? I just love speaking with the robotic voice on #Spectrum. I am thinking of just bringing an old router up from the basement. More reliable. First ...router ever, from #Flickr.
