Introduced by Desmond Lynam and Dave Moorcroft
Four names jump off the page today:
Ed Moses in his event at 3.50, Tom McKean, the Bellshill Express, in the 800m final at 5.30, Butch Reynolds, presumably through to the 400m semis 15 minutes earlier and Yvonne Murray, in the next show at 6.25 on BBC2.
There's more early sprinting from the men and women, a glimpse of Sabine Busch, the conclusion of the Heptathlon, and Sedykh v Utvinov in the Men's Hammer final.
