The Golden Spike is one of the most celebrated events in Europe. It is on my list of must sees, and I hope to be there in 2021. The Golden Spike builds amazing events with the top stars, and the fans have made it a most popular event.
Hassan, Muir, Reekie for Golden Spike
OSTRAVA (CZE): World 1500m and 10,000m champion Sifan Hassan will race over 5000m at the Golden Spike in Ostrava on 8 September (WACT Gold). Hassan could challenge the meeting record of 14:30.18 set by Meseret Defar in 2007. European 1500m champion Laura Muir and double European U23 champion Jemma Reekie are also confirmed for the 800m and 1500m respectively. Reekie will face Poland’s Sofia Ennaoui and top Czech Simona Vrzalova in the 1500m. Muir will run against top Czech Diana Mezulianikova and best Slovak Gabriela Gajanova.
