Gabby Logan introduces highlights from the Diamond League meeting in Eugene, Oregon. Known as the Prefontaine Classic, it is the third leg of the 2017 Diamond League series and, as ever, is loaded with a host of the world's top athletes. Legendary Briton Mo Farah, who is set to retire from track events in August after the World Championships in London, runs in a very strong 10,000m field. Fellow Brit Laura Muir has been in sensational form over the last year and is looking to take a step towards defending the Diamond League 1,500m crown she won so impressively in 2016. Jamaica's Elaine Thompson, who won an incredible sprint double at the Rio Olympics last year, runs in the 200m against reigning world champion Dafne Schippers and six-time Olympic gold medallist Allyson Felix.
