The second day will go down as the day that Usain Bolt fell down from the heavens and did not make the 100 meter final.
It will also be the day that the men’s 10,000 meters transfixed the stadium as Ibrahim Jaelin ran down Mo Farah in a tremendously exciting distance race.
Special thanks to the team of PhotoRun photographers, who provide us with most of our major photos from key events around the globe.
As always, thanks to Chuck Bartlett, our Digital Manager/Web deity, who produces the RN Photo Galleries and keeps me sane from five thousand miles away!
