BIRMINGHAM (GBR): Olympic long jump champion Jeff Henderson will face a tough test at the Müller Indoor Grand Prix in Birmingham on 18 February. The American, one of five Rio Olympic champions competing at the star studded event, will take on former world indoor champion Fabrice Lapierre of Australia, in a top class field at the Barclaycard Arena.
RunBlogRun opines: I first went to the Birmingham Indoor GP in 2007. It was amazing. Wonderful crowd, updates for media and one crazy fast race after another! Many years, they have a 60 meter and 200 meter double, that is fun to watch. It is a great place for media to catch up with the stars of the sport and spend some time with my friends in the British athletics media.
