5000m women
There is a world class field in the Women’s 5000 meters. World Champion Helen Obiri also dominated the Diamond League this year. In the final at the AG Memorial Van Damme she will have to deal with European Champion and World Record Holder in the Mile, Sifan Hassan! But there are a lot more threats coming from Kenya and Europe: Agnes Jebet Tirop and World Leading 3000m Steeplechase Champion Beatrice Chepkoech on the one hand, German Kostanze Klosterhafen on the other hand.
Men’s 110m Hurdles
The chances are wide open in the Men’s 110-meter Hurdles. World Champion Sergey Shubenkov started the season very strongly, but Orlando Ortega from Spain was the best overall in the Diamond Race. In the past weeks American Champion Daniel Roberts was in the spotlights. Add World Indoor Champion Andy Pozzi to this selection and this event becomes a battle between many favourites to take final victory.
Women’s 100m Hurdles
The Women’s 100m Hurdles is likely to become a duel between World Record Holder Kendra Harrison and former World Champion and World Leader Danielle Williams. They both shared almost all of the Diamond League victories. Newly crowned Belgian champion Anne Zagré will be added to this field with a wildcard.
