I believe ETH runs the 200M here against Shericka Jackson and Mboma.

no 100, so DAS is running this too. That's half the entrants.

Supposedly, Sifan Hassan to chase Gidey's 10,000 WR.
It starts 50 minutes before the Peacock/NBCSN TV window; we'll probably her coming down the homestretch.
The time schedule is screwed up, BTW, M PV at 19:30 (between 18:34 and 18:56) is listed before the Opening Ceremony at 19:00.
The W 1500 is a Mile. BTW, in an Athletics Weekly article, Francine Niyonsaba was quoted as saying her next meet is Brussels, where she'll run the 1500!
Cheers,
Alan Shank

Thanks, but what does NB mean?

It's an initialism for "nota bene", which is Latin for "note well".

Yup. In today's argot - :Check this out.

You can lose a WR, but not a medal - unless you test positive within 10 years.

Covid had better NOT still be around in 10 years!!

"Anyone can break the world record, but the gold medal is mine." It took him a few days to lose that medal.

Hassan looked pretty tired in her 5k, not sure she will have the horsepower to take down the 10k record. Looks like both she and Giday are going to have their hands full with Niyonsaba.

[NotDutra5]

The 100? Are you sure?
Just checked out the schedule

https://brussels.diamondleague.com/programma-resultaten-brussels/

If i‘m not wrong Vrouwen is Women and there i can find only the 200m and the 100m Men.
Trayvon Bromell will perform there too btw.

re-read the posts. DAS is running the 200m because there is no 100m for women.

Is Niyonsaba announced in Brussels?
