Two fast times expected
BRUSSELS (BEL): Except of Diamond Trophy fights in 10 events (5 are clear and one finished on Thursday), many national headlines and Man vs. Machine 600 m race two fast competitions are expected at the jubilee 40th AG Insurance Van Damme Memorial. Almaz Ayana in the 5000 m and Conseslus Kipruto in steeple. Both want come close to World records. Duel of the evening should be the women 100 m Thompson vs. Schippers. Another top question is what Caster Semenya will do against the 400 meter specialists.

Is Sha’Carri Richardson the one true global star of Track and Field since Usain Bolt?

NUGUSE SMASHES AMERICAN RECORD FOR THE MILE: 3:43.97

Men
200 m: In-form Churandy Martina faces Olympic bronze medallist Christophe Lemaitre and Rio finalists Adam Gemili, Alonso Edward and Ramil Guliyev.
DR: Edward already confirmed.

400 m (non-DL): Last event of the programme includes all three Borlee brothers against the likes of Luguelin Santos and Vernon Norwood.

800 m: Top field including Olympic bronze medallist Clayton Murphy, Rio fourth and fifth-placers Pierre-Ambroise Bosse and Ferguson Rotich and Paris DL winner Alfred Kipketer. And don’t discount Adam Kszczot and Amel Tuka.
DR: Rotich or Bosse, small chance also for in-shape Kipketer.

1500 m: Olympic silver medallist Taoufik Makhloufi faces a large Kenyan contingent including world champion Asbel Kiprop and Elijah Manangoi on his return from injury.
DR: Kiprop could be second and still wins, Manangoi only one who can beat him.

3000 mSC: Olympic champion Conseslus Kipruto will attack Saif Saaeed Shaheen’s World record of 7:53.63 set at this meeting in 2004. First sub 8 of the year another target.
DR: Kipruto already confirmed.

110 mH: Orlando Ortega begins as the favourite with Olympic champion Omar McLeod absent. Bronze medallist Dimitri Bascou also starts.
DR: Ortega already confirmed.

Long Jump: Olympic silver medallist Luvo Manyonga and fourth-placer Jarrion Lawson are favoured.
DR: Gao or Lapierre for the trophy, slight chance also for Forbes.

High Jump: Another head-to-head between Mutaz Essa Barshim and Bogdan Bondarenko. In-form Robbie Grabarz and Erik Kynard could also challenge.
DR: Between top 4 in the standings only 6 points difference. But Barshim looks to be in top shape and he likes the meet.

Discus: World champion Piotr Malachowski is the only Olympic medallist in action. Lausanne winner Philip Milanov will be looking to close his season with a win on home soil.
DR: All set for Malachowski, his country-man Urbanek has theoretical chance.

Women
100 m: Elaine Thompson (10.70) and Dafne Schippers (10.83) are by far the fastest on 2016 form and the Jamaican is looking for the meeting record of 10.73.
DR: Thompson 30, Schippers 22 looks clear. Schippers would need to win and Thompson third.

400 m: Olympic bronze medallist Shericka Jackson faces Rio fourth-placer Natasha Hastings and sixth-placer Stephenie-Ann McPherson along with 49.71 performer Courtney Okolo. And what could do the 800 star Semenya?
DR: McPherson 31 and Hastings 28, that is the fight for the trophy.

5000 m: After two near misses before Rio, Almaz Ayana will attack Tirunesh Dibaba’s eight-year-old world record of 14:11.15. Olympic 10,000m fourth-placer Alice Aprot also starts. Meet record 14:25.43 should go.
DR: Ayana looks clear, small chance for Obiri.

100 mH (non-DL): European champion Cindy Roleder faces Jasmin Stowers and team-mate Nadine Hildebrand in a wide open race.

400 mH: Could be a European win with world champion Zuzana Hejnova, European champion Sara Petersen and Eilidh Doyle the favourites as Dalilah Muhammad already ended her season.
DR: Doyle 36 and Tate 30.

Triple Jump: Caterine Ibarguen is the outstanding favourite again.
DR: Ibarguen confirmed.

High Jump (non-DL): Olympic heptathlon champion Nafissatou Thiam faces Levern Spencer and Svetlana Radzivil on home soil. All three jumpers have cleared 198 this year.

Pole Vault: Will Sandi Morris or Ekaterini Stefanidi challenge Isinbayeva’s meeting record of 493 cm?
DR: Stefanidi confirmed.

Javelin: Field includes European champion Tatsiana Khaladovich, Olympic bronze medallist Barbora Spotakova and Diamond race leader Madara Palameika.
DR: Looks good for Palameika 39, Mitchell has the possibility with 25 but Palameika would need to be under 4th place and that does not look real.
