Nafi Thiam is by far the strongest and the best all round Belgian athlete of this moment. The Olympic Heptathlon Champion also won gold in the Pentathlon at the European Indoor Championships earlier this year. That means that Thiam is well prepared and ready to take on the outdoor athletics season in her homebase in Liège. In the opening leg of the 2017 AG Memorial Series she will face a number of high level international athletes !
