Diamond League Final schedule, start times and how to watch meet in Brussels
Amy Hunt will continue her busy summer as the only athlete running both the women’s 100m and 200m at the Diamond League Final in Brussels this weekend.
The young British sprint star – who won a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games five weeks ago, claimed a record four gold medals at the European Athletics Championships shortly after and has since competed in Diamond League events in Zurich and Lausanne as well as a meeting in Brescia – will face two stacked fields at the King Baudouin Stadium, with Olympic silver medallist Sha’Carri Richardson, World Championship silver medallist Tina Clayton and Commonwealth games champion Zoe Hobbs headlining the 100m field, and two-time Olympic medallist Julien Alfred the favourite in the 200m.
There are global superstars littered throughout the events as the season-long Diamond League reaches its conclusion, with unbeatable pole vault icon Mondo Duplantis finally having a legitimate rival in the form of Emmanouil Karalis, making for a fascinating Friday night showdown, while Audrey Werro vs the ever-improving Femke Broeders-Bol will be a blockbuster 800m match-up in the penultimate race of the meeting on Saturday evening.
Recent world-record breakers Alison Dos Santos (men’s 400m hurdles) and Masai Russell (women’s 100m hurdles) will both be in action once more, while the likes of Georgia Hunter Bell in the women’s 1500m, Matthew Hudson-Smith in the men’s 400m and Ben Pattison in the men’s 800m provide further British interest.
Here’s everything you need to know about the event:
