In 2017 Kevin, Jonathan and Dylan Borlee ran a unique 100 metres across the water on a specially constructed mobile track. Three years ago Ben Broeders won the pole vault on the square.<\/p>\n<p> In 2022 it was the shot putters&#8217; turn to head to the market and show off what they had to offer. Double world champion Joe Kovacs dominated the event, the 33-year-old American setting a new meeting record of 22m61 on his second attempt. He beat Darrell Hill&#8217;s five-year-old meeting record by 17cm. His sixth and last attempt went to 22m48, meaning Kovacs went beyond the previous record distance not once but twice.<\/p>\n<p> Second place went to New Zealand&#8217;s Tom Walsh in 21m60, followed by fellow Kiwi Jacko Gill in third with 21m32.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As per tradition the Allianz Memorial Van Damme kicked off the day before the main event at the...","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":2647,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-3535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brussels"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brussels.wdl.uat-sports.swisstiming.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brussels.wdl.uat-sports.swisstiming.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brussels.wdl.uat-sports.swisstiming.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brussels.wdl.uat-sports.swisstiming.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3535"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brussels.wdl.uat-sports.swisstiming.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3535\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brussels.wdl.uat-sports.swisstiming.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brussels.wdl.uat-sports.swisstiming.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brussels.wdl.uat-sports.swisstiming.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brussels.wdl.uat-sports.swisstiming.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3535"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brussels.wdl.uat-sports.swisstiming.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=3535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
