Pre-Meet Press Conference: World Record Attempts For Pearson, Dibaba And Eaton? XC In The Winter Olympics? And Does The Mayor Of Sopot Read LetsRun.com?
(updated with videos) The customary pre-meet press conference was quite interesting. G. Dibaba, Sally Pearson and Ashton Eaton all revealed whether they're going for the $50,000 world record bonus this weekend. Speaking of Pearson, 8-time global hurdles gold medalist Allen Johnson said Pearson is "the best - not one of the best" and "probably the best hurdler I've ever seen in person." Bruny Surin said he thought a Brit - yes, a Brit (James Dasaolu) - would have broken the 60m WR had he not been injured. All of that plus Pentathlon world record holder Nataliya Dobrynska of the Ukraine talks politics, cross-country as a winter Olympic sport and does the mayor of Sopot read LetsRun.com?March 6, 2014
