The Pressers in Bimingham are always a blast. Goeff Wightman emceed the presser, providing ten minutes of fine questions and comments. I then, was allowed, per European Union law, to ask ONE question to each athlete.
My questions;
1. Reece Prescod: What have you improved on this season and how important is your start?
2. Elaine Thompson: With no championships this season, what is importance of indoor in 2019?
3. Juan Miguel Echevarria: Compare your fitness to Karlsruhe?
4. Laura Muir: Will we see you run a 10,000m? How did you feel in the 5,000m?
The presser broke up into small groups then for each athlete.Below is my video of the entire presser.
