Shanghai Press Conference Highlights

Published by IAAF on May 13, 2016

It is said that there are no friends in politics, but it seems there is nothing but friends in the hurdles.

That was the impression given, at least, when world leader Omar McLeod, Olympic champion and world record-holder Aries Merritt and 2013 world champion David Oliver addressed the press conference on Friday (13) ahead of the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Shanghai.

Proceedings got under way with a question to McLeod about how he is handling the pressure of being the ‘man to watch’ in the 110m hurdles this year following his world indoor 60m hurdles title and two world leads in his first two races outdoors.
