I guess they're not doing Rome, but they appear to be broadcasting Sheffield Grand Prix. I got an email just now:

GAY SHOOTS FOR TITLE OF WORLD'S FASTEST MAN

Tyson Gay, just weeks removed from a stunning 100- and 200-meter double at the U.S. championships, will make a run Sunday at the 100-meter world record when he races at 1 p.m. ET in Sheffield, England. Watch live on WCSN.com. More »

How many times in history has the 100m WR been set when an athlete is said to be "shooting for it"? Zero? That's not the way records happen in the 100m or hardly any event.
