On the second day in Glasgow, Scottish fans continued to be entertained as the Emirates Arena in downtown Glasgow had the 642 athletes from 50 countries. On day 2, Jakub Ingebrigtsen took the gold in the 3000m and Chris O’Hare took the silver in a nail biter with Norwegian brother, Henrik. Then, Karston Warholm won the 400m, giving Norway two gold medals in 2 hours-they had NEVER won an indoor medal before. Warholm equalled Thomas Schonleibe’s superb 45.05.

Larry Eder has had a 52-year involvement in the sport of athletics. Larry has experienced the sport as an athlete, coach, magazine publisher, and now, journalist and blogger. His first article, on Don Bowden, America's first sub-4 minute miler, was published in RW in 1983. Larry has published several magazines on athletics, from American Athletics to the U.S. version of Spikes magazine. He currently manages the content and marketing development of the RunningNetwork, The Shoe Addicts, and RunBlogRun. Of RunBlogRun, his daily pilgrimage with the sport, Larry says: "I have to admit, I love traveling to far away meets, writing about the sport I love, and the athletes I respect, for my readers at runblogrun.com, the most of anything I have ever done, except, maybe running itself." Also does some updates for BBC Sports at key events, which he truly enjoys.
