What a difference a week makes. Last weekend, in Manchester, David Oliver hit a hurdle hard and went down, only to finish last. Aries Merritt and Orlando Ortego battled on, going 1,2 in Manchester. This weekend, in Beijing, David Oliver stays vertical, finishes first in 13.17!

More great performances to come!
