BERLIN, Germany--Washington State University graduate Bernard Lagat, the reigning world champion at 1500 and 5000 meters, spoke to members of the international media Friday in advance of his title defense in both events at the IAAF World Track & Field Championships.

He spoke about how his training's been going, the disappointment of last year's Olympics, and what it means to compete in the same stadium that the great Jesse Owens competed in at the 1936 Olympics.
