The day 2 of the World Champs will be a two session day, with the heptathlon in the morning and heats and finals of the 100m men’s and 10,000m womens in the evening. Who will win, how will it go? Here is my short preview of the Day 2 at the World Champs. Remember my criteria: Under two minutes, focused and pithy. Not sure about the pithy.
Also, the women’s semi final of the 1,500 meters, will be, well, brutal.
Special thanks to the Shoe Addicts for their video work.
