BIRMINGHAM (GBR): Double world champion 2007 Bernard Lagat is the latest big name for Aviva Grand Prix in Birmingham on February 20. „This year is going really well and I‘m feeling in great shape, so I definitely want to continue that form in Birmingham. I‘m racing over 1500m and I‘m looking forward to running again with Augustine Choge which is always tough,“ he was quoted as David Martin writes. Choge last night in Stockholm clocked world leading 3000 m time.
