London DL, Day Two, 1 WL, 2 NR, Where do we begin? results from IAAF

Dina Asher-Smith, photo by PhotoRun.net

There was magic, and there was excitement. Renaud Lavillenie clearing 6.03 meters. Shawn Barber clearing 5.92m, a new Canadian record.

Then, in two minutes time, Dina Asher-Smith, runs 10.99 for a new British record. Shara Proctor, leaps 6.98m in the long jump.

And the meet for day two was on!

From the Emsley Carr Mile, with Asbel Kiprop and Matthew Centrowitz showing two of the most promising medal contenders at 1,500 meters for Beijing, to Dafne Schippers running 10.92, I was transfixed.

Enjoy the results and watch for our pieces later tonight and tomorrow, after I get in a couple of walks!
