Athletics

on BBC One London

Live coverage interspersed with highlights of today's action at the Weltklasse meeting in Zurich. Olympic heroes and also-rans converge on Zurich for one of the biggest Grand
Prix meetings of the season. It is the first major athletics event since Barcelona and, with the serious business of chasing
Olympic medals out of the way, thoughts will turn to world record attempts. Sebastian Coe set two of his world records in Zurich - the 1500m in 1979 and the mile in 1981. In recent seasons, Americans Butch
Reynolds and Roger Kingdom have broken world records here in the 400m and 110m hurdles respectively. Last year Zambia's Samuel Matete set a Commonwealth record in the 400m hurdles and went on to be crowned World Champion. Commentary by David Coleman , Stuart Storey and Paul Dickenson.
