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.

"I can hope for a tactical race. But since the world record holder will be in the 3000m, I think I’ll have to be prepared for anything! The first goal is to make the final and then from there, I’m just hoping to mix things up mid-pack and see how high I can place."
