With the Beijing Olympics just a fortnight away, BBC One offers viewers an opportunity to check out the final preparations of some of the world's finest athletes with live coverage of the London Grand Prix from Crystal Palace. For the first time since 1985, the event goes into a second day, the highlight of which will be Olympic and World 10,000m Champion Kenenisa Bekele's attempt on Haile Gebrselassie's 5,000m stadium record.
Britain's Andy Baddeley (pictured last year at Osaka) will take on reigning World Champion Bernard Lagat and World and Commonwealth medallist Craig Mottram in the historic Emsley Carr Mile, while heptathlete Kelly Sotherton competes in a four-event challenge.
