EVENT BY EVENT (short preview)

MEN

100 m: One of the clashes of the champs. Lemaitre vs. Chambers. Title defender Obikwelu runs, but he is no longer aiming for top honours. Sub 10 only once before in the history of the event.

200 m: Will Lemaitre run? That is the question, he wants to decide only after 100 m. Other choices? Ndure, Mbandjock, Hession. Title defender Obikwelu is also there, but has only 21.00 this year.

400 m: Borlee twins in attack, but Gillick is also ready and Britons Rooney and Bingham too. Goteborg winner Raquil not running since 2008.

800 m: Fast or tactical? In fast race Lewandowski, defender Som, Rimmer should be attacking. In slow anything can happen, surprise from Holusa, Kszczot or one of the Spanish newcomers?

1500 m: Spain vs. Great Britain. Goteborg winner Baala is injured.
