Duplantis, Hassan and a Katir-Mechaal duel in 1500

The stadium King Baudouin of Brussels (Belgium) will host this Friday (20:00, #Vamos) the last stop of the Diamond League before the final in Zurich on September 8 and 9, for which many of the stars have been reserved.

Thus, the brightest will be Armand Duplantis on pole and Sifan Hassan on the mile. The flying Swede never tires of raiding his world record (6.18 in February 2020) and probably will attempt another assault at 6.19 as he did in Paris last week (6.01). “I’m in great shape, but all the pieces of the puzzle have to fit together”, he warned while asking for a “mild and little wind” climate.

The Dutch, triple medalist in Tokyo (1,500, 5,000 and 10,000), and holder of the world record of the distance (4: 12.33) already achieved the one of the hour in that same track last year. Marta Pérez and Esther Guerrero will participate in the race.

A 1,500 VERY SPANISH

At 1,500, who will start with the best mark is Mo Katir (his 3: 28.76 this year in Monaco) and Adel Mechaal (5th in the Games) will give him battle. There will be no champion in Tokyo, Jakob Ingebrigtsen, yes Abel Kipsang, fourth.

As for sprinters, the 100 is featured by Olympic runner-up Fred Kerley and fourth, Akai Simbine, although the man with the best record is the American Trayvon Bromell.

THE POLEMIC SHA’CARRI RICHARDSON

In the 200s, the presence of Sha’Carri Richardson stands out. The 21-year-old American was left out of the Games after testing positive for cannabis and on his return to Eugene, in 100, he was last. In the double hectometer, a victory could give him a pass to the final in Brussels.
