Mo Farah just does it! photo by PhotoRun.net
On a night of rain and cold, Usain Bolt and Mo Farah delivered the goods, with a fine crowd of 40,000 plus on a night that was pretty typical crazy London summer weather!
Usain Bolt ran 9.87 twice, and he needed to, as Mike Rodgers and Kemar Bailey-Cole challenged him. In the 3000 meters, Mo Farah ran WL of 7:34.66, running 1:55 over last 800 meters to cement his win.
Here are the results and more stories to come!
