Schippers: ‘Brussels feels like home’

Allyson Felix seemed on course for victory at the 200m, but with a strong final push Dafne Schippers blew by the American. "The crowd is incredible here. I also saw a lot of Dutch people in the public. The Belgian crowd is amazing."

"I felt that I could give power after the curve, so that is what I did. You never know what the other can
do, but I felt strong and felt I could take the win. I am enjoying greatly with this crowd, to win here in Brussels. Van Damme Memorial feels like home."
"I like to compete against everyone, the competition is what I run for. The women athletes always run against each other, we don’t hide. Sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. Loosing is part of the game. We will see what next year brings. This season was incredible for me. I still have to get used to it to all the attention."
