“If I trust my training, my mind will be more relaxed on race day. To calm down and concentrate, I start thinking about what I’ve been doing for the past months. So, I’m confident in the plan.” A phrase from Eliud Kipchoge which may be worthwhile for your training partner, Faith Kipyegon, the great hero of the last day of Diamond League in Brussels. The Kenyan secured his sixth diamond, the fifth in the 1,500m, after winning the fast race with a time of 3’54”75, ahead of the Ethiopian Diribe Welteji and the Australian Jessica Hull. This Saturday was the second of the finals at the Van Damme Memorial, which brought together 82 Paris 2024 Olympic medalists and distributed 32 diamonds.

The goal was to finish the season in the Diamond League with a good feeling and I achieved it,” explained the Kenyan Olympic champion in Paris, who has not yet finished the season. Kipyegon will participate on September 26 in a new meeting in New York (Athlos NYC), only for women, and with double the prize than the Diamond itself.
