World Record for Merrit and African Record for Fourie

The final Diamond League  meeting for 2012 produced some excellent hurdling.
Aries Merrit has been incredibly consistent during season to the point where one had to wonder if he was ever going to be able to go under 12.90, well he did and he ran 12.80!
Lehann Fourie has been edging closer to the African Record all season and now has broken through with a run of 13.24.
Other great performances by Bolt, Blake, the Borlee twins, a fast 10000m by the Kenians and a very good 800m by Niyonsaba.
