Day 2 of Brussels Diamond League meeting: Aarop’s world record attempt, Chebet continues to dominate

Day 2 of the Wanda Diamond League Finale took place on Saturday at the King Baudouin Stadium.

Marco Aarop’s world record attempt

The second day saw a world record attempt by Canadian Marco Aarop, however, he couldn’t hang onto world record holder David Rudisha’s pace that he matched during the first 400m at 49.28 to attempt 1:40.91. Aarop looked strong through 600m and even toward 700m, however, going into and coming out of the final bend his lead was appearing to be at risk.

His current rival, Kenyan Emmanuel Wanyonyi, blew past him on the home straight to take the win. Aarop hung on for third place clocking a 1:43.25 performance. Wanyonyi breasted the line at 1:42.70, while Algerian Djamel Sedjati took second in 1:42.86.

Beatrice Chebet

Beatrice Chebet, the 24-year-old Kenyan has had a career year during 2024, and has now closed out the season with yet another big win, the Wanda Diamond League championship.

All she claims are Diamonds and Golds 💎🥇

Beatrice Chebet adds another Diamond League trophy to her collection as a 2-time Paris Olympic Gold Medalist in her 2024 season’s book!😮‍💨

She started 2024 by winning the 2024 Serbia World Athletics Cross Country Championships in March. Chebet next broke the world record and the 29-minute benchmark in the 10,000m event. She clocked 28:54 in May. Chebet won the 2024 Paris Olympic Games 5000m, then the 10,000m gold medal performance four days hence. The diminutive speedster ran two of the faster 5000m performances in history during the Diamond League recording 14:09.52 in Zurich and 14:09.82 during the finale in Brussels, Belgium.

Chebet broke the meet record, while Ethiopian teenager Medina Eisa ran a new world U20 record in 14:21.89 for second place. In third place was Fotyen Tesfay, well back at 14:28.53, for a new personal best result.

Men’s 100m / 200m

The men’s 100m was a flop. The sprint was won by Kenyan Ferdinand Omanyala in a pedestrian 10.07. Last place was a plodding 10.80 seconds. Kobe Vleminckx took second in 10.29 and third was Joshua Harmnann in 10.30.

Meanwhile, the men’s 200m provided better performances with American Kenneth Bednarek dominating Paris Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo of Botswana 19.67 to 19.80, while Alexander Ogando was well back at 19.97 for third.
