The athletics Diamond League season culminates on Friday and Saturday in Brussels, Belgium.
Pole vault star Armand Duplantis has won the Diamond League final once again. He needed two jumps to secure his victory in Brussels.
In the finals of the Diamond League, the stake was 30,000 dollars in prize money, as well as a wild card spot to the World Championships in Tokyo, which will be contested a year later.
“Mondo” Duplantis finished his season faithfully in style. He first crossed 562 and then 592, which guaranteed him the number one spot in the final for the fourth time in a row.
With his third, the Swede managed the Areena’s record readings of 611 in inclement weather. Due to the long season and cool weather conditions, Duplantis no longer went to his own record height of 626 ME yacht in Belgium.
– My legs felt really tired today and I’m pretty exhausted anyway from the “crazy” events of the last couple of weeks and meeting Karsten. The competition today taxed my body much more than I would have thought beforehand, Duplantis talked.
In the men’s pole vault, second place went to Greece For Emmanouil Karalis with a result of 582. The same height was also exceeded by the third place shared by the United States Sam Kendricks and Belgium Ben Broeders.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen took his own in the men’s 1500 m with a time of 3:30.37. After the Norwegian runner, Kenya reached the finish line Timothy Cheruiyot and the United States Cole Hocker at times 3:30,93 and 3:30,94.
Jamaica has four World Cup competitors in the men’s 100 and long
Men’s 100 meters in Jamaica Akeem Blake was the only one to pink for less than ten seconds. A time of 9.93 was enough for, among others, times of 10.00 and 10.01 for the American To Fred Kerley and To Christian Coleman.
With his victory, Blake claimed Jamaica’s fourth place in the 100 meters for next year’s World Championships, just like the long-distance man who put in 828 Tajay Gayle. Swiss Simon Ehammer jumped 816 and Greece Miltiadis Tentoglou 815.
Olympic discus thrower in Paris Valarie Allman did not lose a single race this season. The result of 68.47 was too much for China To Bin Feng ( 67.49) and Cuba To Yaime Perez (66,96).
In women’s shot put of Sarah Mitton became the first Canadian Diamond League finalist since the shortstop by Priscilla Schliep-Lopes and 2010. Mitton was 20.25 with his own metric figures.
