The athletics gods were kind today. A sunny, warm day in Birmingham, England! And then, the crowd was treated to some amazing performances!

Greg Rutherford, coming back from an abductor tear in Shanghai, and in Birmingham? Well, Rutherford starts out in 8.11 meters, then, 8.35 meters, then, 8.24 meters. With the first and second longest of the day, Greg was ecstatic. Michael Hartfield of the US leaped 8.23m, with six over 8.06 meters! 

In the men’s 100 meters, Marvin Bracy won, but it was in the battle for second, as Adam Gemili and Mike Rogers dueled, and Gemili became the sixth Briton to break 10 seconds as well as the first to go sub 10 seconds for the 100m and sub 20 seconds for the 200 meters! Gemili may have torn a hamstring, as he fell to the ground after his 9.97 (same time as Rodgers).

In the women’s 200 meters, Dina Asher-Smith, the smiling and prolific young British sprinter, just off her NR in the 100 meters, ran the #2 time in the 200 meters in 22.39. But, it was the way she did it, as she lead off the turn from Jeneba Tarmoh and Allyson Felix, who went on to run 22.29 and finish, one and two, with Tarmoh getting the nod. 

But the performance of the day had to be Julius Yego, the Kenyan javelin thrower. I was watching his last throw and it just kept going, and going and landed near a sector line and at first was noted as a foul. Julius appealed, as is his right, and his appeal won! 

Julius Yego had thrown 91 meters and 39 centimeters, the SECOND longest throw ever in UK, and the NR for Kenya, Area Record, Meet Record and Diamond League record. Vitezlav Veseley was second in 88.18 meters! 

A fantastic meet that had started with Mo Farah flying back to US, admitting to being emotionally exhausted from the week of inquiries into his coach and training partner. The crowd was treated to the depth and excitement of a wonderful event, held in a fine stadium in Birmingham!
