In the perfect ending to the 2011 Samsung Diamond League, Usain Bolt runs 9.76 for the 100 meters, World Leader, Morgan Uceny wins 1,500m, in 4:00.06, World Leader, and Kenenisa Bekele runs WL for 10,000m in 26:43.16, leading Galen Rupp to an AR of 26:48.00.

And that is not all sports fans. Yohan Blake ran 19.26, yes, 19.26, the SECOND FASTEST time ever. Walter Dix runs 19.53 for second and Carmelita Jeter defeats Veronica Campbell Brown over the 100 meters, 10.78 to 10.85!

Belgacom Brussels, the Ivo Van Damme Memorial memorial, named after one of Belgium’s finest middle distance runners, lived up to its hype. Watch for more on Saturday!

BOLT 9.76, BLAKE 19.26,
CHICHEROVA ATTACKED 210

BRUSSELS (BEL, Sep 15): 35th Van Damme Memorial as
Samsung Diamond League final was again superb. Full stadium in solid weather
(in the stands also Jacques Rogge and Lamine Diack with Sergey Bubka)
registered in total four world leading marks and four meeting records. Bolt got
his 100 m
world lead he wanted, but some minutes afterwards lost his 200 m world lead to Blake who
was unexpectedly fast. Another top facts are that Kenenisa Bekele is back and
Anna Chicherova realistically attacked the women high jump world record.

Event by event

 

Men

100 m (non DL): Usain Bolt gets the world lead and
meet record 9.76 (+1.3) over fast starter Carter 9.89. It is the fastest 100 m of Bolt since 9.58
world record and fourth fastest of his career.

200 m: The sensation of the evening. Blake blasts to second fastest ever
19.26 (+0.7). Dix as second improves to 19.53 (fourth fastest perfomer ever,
best second place result ever) and wins the Diamond, third Ashmeade 19.91 (PB)
and fourth Ndure 19.97 also sub 20.

400 m (non DL): The home affair as planned. Jonathan
Borlee season best 44.78 beating Kevin Borlee 44.97 and Oscar Pistorius his
third fastest of career 45.46.

800 m: Rudisha wins in good 1:43.96 and gets the Diamond, young Aman
second 1:44.29 ahead of 1500
m world champ Kiprop 1:44.46. Nice improvement for Bube
of Denmark 1:45.04 as 6th.

5000 m: Merga gets the satisfaction after Daegu dq (he learned that
during press conference with medalists) and wins the Diamond in 12:58.32.

Polat Kemboi Turkish record 13:05.98.

10 000 m: Kenenisa is back with world leading 26:43.16. London is now realistic for him. Second
Rotich 26:43.98 and third Rupp US

JT: World champ De Zordo improves his best to 88.36. Second Vasilevskis
85.06, third Avan national record 84.79, Thorkildsen fifth 81.86, gets Diamond

meet record 9:15.43 ahead of Ghribi 9:16.57, Kenyans beaten, Diamond winner
