Press call for the Manchester Great City Games

In a move away from the traditional Saturday afternoon session of city athletics, this year's Great City Games in Manchester will be run from 6pm on Friday evening.

This meant that the press call was bumped forward to Thursday, but at least the sun was shining a bit for the athletes as they walked down the still-being-built-mind-the-wet-paint track.

The athletes: Greg Rutherford, Chijindu Ujah, Lucy Hatton, Tiffany Porter, Treyvon Bromell

 The runners: Kenenisa Bekele, Tirunesh Dibaba, Zane Robertson
