Sainsbury's Birmingham Indoor Grand Prix, 21 February 2015, Full results from IAAF

The sold out crowd of 12,000 plus in Barclaycard Birmingham NIA were entertained with a fine three hours of track & field. From Greg Rutherford’s come from behind long jump win (his fourth indoor PB in the same competition!), to Katerina Thompson-Johnson’s second NR in seven days (last week, the high jump in 1.94m and this week, the LJ in 6.93m), to Mo Farah’s amazing 8:03.40 World Best for two miles (his first world record), the Sainsbury’s Indoor GP did the job right.

If you want to see how an indoor meet should be done, heck, how any meet should be done, come to Birmingham, and watch this meet. From the promotions, to the press conference, to the great seating and viewing for media and fans, the event showcases the sport, British athletics and their sponsors, Sainsburys and Nike, among others.

Too bad that it will go to an every other year meeting in 2016.
