London Anniversary Games - Day 2

Athletics 2018

Coverage of another terrific afternoon of athletics as the Anniversary Games draws to close and the London Stadium prepares to say goodbye to retiring long jumper Greg Rutherford.

Gabby Logan introduces coverage of another terrific afternoon of world class athletics as the Anniversary Games draws to close and the London Stadium prepares to say goodbye to retiring long jumper Greg Rutherford, famously one of the three Great British Super Saturday heroes from the 2012 Olympics, alongside Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill and Sir Mo Farah.

Olympic, World, European and Commonwealth gold medallist Rutherford is just one of five British track and field athletes to hold the four major titles simultaneously, and he lines up for the final time at the scene of his most famous victory alongside Olympic champion Jeff Henderson and Cuban sensation Juan Miguel Echevarria in what is a star-studded field.

The women's 200m is also loaded with world stars. Joining rising British hope Dina Asher-Smith are Olympic champion Elaine Thompson and world champion Dafne Schippers and World Championships 100m and 200m silver medallist Marie-Josee Ta Lou.

Other highlights include both the men's and women's 800m, the historic Emsley Carr Mile race and many Para-athletics events with British and global Paralympic gold medallists set to compete.

Steve Cram, Andrew Cotter, Paula Radcliffe, Steve Backley and Michael Johnson provide expert commentary and analysis.
