On this Sunday of the Aviva Birmingham Grand Prix - Samsung Diamond League at Birmingham Alexander Stadium, a list of 16 gold medallists and 42 medallists of the London Olympics will be taking part. 

Mo Farah, who won the 5000m and 10000m gold in the Olympics will be lining up to run in the 2 Miles race at the UK’s final Samsung Diamond League event of the year. Mo has already broken the British 2 mile indoor record earlier this year. It is predicted that Steve Ovett’s outdoor British record of 8:13.51 will be challenged on Sunday.

He told reporters, “I’m looking forward to coming back to the Aviva Birmingham Grand Prix. It was a special atmosphere there last year and another victory would be great. It’s a big year for athletics in the UK. The crowd has really got behind me on home soil in 2012, and I’m sure they’ll be in high spirits to cheer on the returning Olympic contingent in Birmingham.”
