The Birmingham Diamond League is one of my favorites meets of the season. This is the first time I have missed a meetin BMX in a decade. Oh, just the curry alone gives me a moment to cry! The Alexander Stadium is a great facility to watch the best athletes in the world, and then, spend some time with your friends, what better way to spend a weekend in August?
This is the full presser from earlier today at the Birmingham Diamond League. There are always some gems from these!
