The second Grand Slam Track meeting, held in Miami, Florida for May 2,3 and 4 was a strong improvement over the first GST in Kingston.
The Shanghai Diamond League was held on 3 May 2025. Great crowd, great performances, as the elite outdoor season gets going.
I spoke with Ed Harry and Lee James at BBC World Service on Saturday to discus how the GST Kingston and GST Miami have brought change to the sport and what they may need to add to be successful. Here is the actual converation, courtesy of BBC World Services.
Testing the NIKE Vomero 18, Brooks Ghost 17, Diadora Gara Carbon 2, and Brooks Glycerin 22.
Observation: Two Major events in China, plus two Diamond League meets in China, seems lot a huge focus on China. It this all about money? Your thoughts.
