In the wonderful environs of the Stadio Olimpico, the sparse crowd was entertained with some strong performances. Justin Gatlin continues his winning ways in the 100 meters. Tori Bowie wins the 100 meters from way back, adding to her 200m win at Prefontaine. Genzebe Dibaba, off a 76 second first lap opener, runs 14:34! Mutasz Barshin clears 2.41m and wins the High Jump!
Concerned that Duane Solomon seems to be racing everywhere and stuck in the 1:44 rut. Nice to see Molly Huddle open in 14:55.90 for 5000m, and Kim Conley in 15:08.61!
Silas Kiplagat goes by Ayanleh Souleiman and Asbel Kiprop to win the 1,500 meters! Now, on to Oslo.
