London Grand Prix Day 2

Duration: 3 hours, 10 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One WalesLatest broadcast: on BBC One Yorkshire

Coverage of the second day of the London Grand Prix at Crystal Palace, as some of the best athletes in the world fine-tune their Olympic preparations.

Britain's Andy Baddeley takes on reigning world champion Bernard Lagat and Commonwealth medallist Craig Mottram in the historic Emsley Carr Mile, while heptathlete Kelly Sotherton competes in a four-event challenge.

The first day featured a 100m duel between sprint kings Tyson Gay and Asafa Powell, and it promises to be no less dramatic as the event goes into a second day for the first time since 1985. The highlight is an attempt on Haile Gebrselassie's 5,000m stadium record by Olympic and world 10,000m champion Kenenisa Bekele.
