It was fun watching Prince Albert of Monaco, with his binoculars, looking at the triple jump and high jumps from his seats in the Stade Louis II last night. And, His Royal Highness, along with his 15,000 plus fellow athletics fans, had much to watch.
Race after race, event after event, were spectacular. The men’s 800 meters, followed by the men’s 1,500 meters, followed by the women’s 100 meters, had me looking for superlatives.
Just look over the results here and read our upcoming analysis of a fantastic summer meet!
Two French national records, one American record, records for Ethiopia, Djibouti, Norway, New Zealand, Asian records, Meet records galore and, yes, Diamond League records!
