The Bauhaus Galen Presser has always been a good press conference in the past. This year was on exception, as Steve Gardiner, Ramil Guilyev, Jenny Simpson, Brenda Martinez, Karston Warholm and Sam Kendricks, along with Luvo Manyonga spoke about their specialties and their rivalries.
The 1912 Olympic stadium in Stockholm, Sweden is full of the ghosts of Jim Thorpe, Paavo Nurmi, Gunder Haag, Ron Clarke, among others. I remember, in 2011, Usain Bolt spending over an hour signing autographs with young Swedish fans waiting to meet their superstar. Those cool, clear Scandanavian evenings offer some of the finest weather for middle and long distance racing. The knowledgable crowd in Stockholm also provides the athletes with a crowd that truly appreciates their level of fitness and focus.
Don’t miss the Bauhaus Stockholm DL on Sunday, June 10, 2018!
