Zurich, post meet, with lights and before the fireworks! by Larry Eder
The Weltklasse is one of the most iconic sporting events in the World. This was my first visit to the meet, and second to the stadium of the Letzigrund ( I had been here for the Europeans a few weeks ago!).
I will write about all of the events, but wanted you to get the results! Jenny Simpson and Shannon Rowbury going 1,2 in the 1,500 meters-EPIC!
Suffice it to say that the meet lived up to expectations!
