With the Rio Olympics barely two months away, a sunny Sunday afternoon at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham was the setting for the latest Diamond League meeting and a series of records tumbled.

Mo Farah broke David Moorcroft's 34 year old British 3000m record, cheered on by the large home crowd. Six meeting records were set, including two Diamond League records for David Rudisha in the Men's 600m and Yarisley Silva in the Women's pole vault.

But it was Mo Farah who was the star - following the pacemakers through 2000m to run away and take 1/10th second off that record. His time of 7:32.62 means he now holds the British track records at 1500m, two miles, 3000m, 5000m and 10000m, as well as half-marathon on the road. He has already said that after the 2017 season he will look to concentrate on road, rather than track, running.

Yet his fellow 2012 gold medallist Greg Rutherford was well down on the form which has been so good over the past year. The reigning World, Olympic, European and Commonwealth champion led briefly with a first round 8.17m, but the USA's Marquise Goodwin went out to 8.42m in the second round and Greg Rutherford found himself soon pushed him into fifth and out of the final series of jumps.

Eilidh Doyle continued her fine start to the season with a second place in the 400m hurdles, finishing with the same time as USA's Cassandra Tate but missing out on the photo finish.
