The Bauhaus-Galan meeting, in the historic 1912 Stockholm Olympic stadium, showed that if you bring in the stars, add a fan base that loves the sport, and place them in a fine athletics stadium, the meet can be stellar. Some fine performances and some reasons, once again, to remind us that many of the things we do in the sport are right, but we need some fine tuning.
Here is the last big meet prior to the US championships (June 22-25).
