The Golden Gala is always a big meet on the Diamond League circuit. The presser is always like a grand Italian opera with a couple hundred media enraptured with an Italian star, this year, the Olympic champion, Marcell Jacobs.
The Rome DL had fantastic performances, from Fred Kerley winning the 100 meters, to Femke Bol in the 400m hurdles and Athing Mu’s WL at 800 meters. The season is building up!
