Athletics fans can Diamond League meeting Look forward to the comeback of 100-meter Olympic champion Noah Lyles in Monaco.
The American has not yet completed a race over his favorite distances (100 meters and 200 meters) in this athletics season. At the meeting of the Diamond League in Monaco (Friday, July 11th from 8 p.m. in the Livestream on Sportschau.de) this will at least change over the longer distance.
The 27-year-old has long been laboratories on a foot injury that hardly let him be used this season. In April Lyles used that “Tom Jones Invitational” in Florida as a tempot test – there over a distance of 400 meters. However, the performance was a setback – the foot caused problems again.
Now Lyles wants to try another attempt in Monaco, this time over the 200 meters. In the principality, he will also meet a well -known face: Letsile Tebogo. The 22-year-old Botswan was already the worst competitor of the American at the Olympic Games in Paris and got the gold medal over the 200 meters. Most recently, the world ranking of the world was in good shape and also won the past meeting in Eugene.
Femke bol – the unbeaten
Four Diamond League titles and 27 meetings won. Femke Bol is the measure of all things over the 400-meter hurdles of women. This season, the 25-year-old Dutchman captivates again with a time under 53 seconds. During her latest meeting in Stockholm (Sweden), she completed the route in 52,11 seconds.
Femke Bol is currently running away through the 400 m hurdles.
So far, Bol has been unbeaten this year. In Monaco, strong competitors are now waiting with the Americans Anna Cockrell and Dalilah Muhammad, who also ran under 53 seconds.
The phenomenon of Sweden
As with most meetings of the Diamond League, there is of course a special note on pole vumer Armand Duplantis. For a long time, the 26-year-old Sweden is no longer just about the day’s victory, but rather about setting up a new record. In Stockholm, the exceptional athlete jumped 6.28 meters and set the world record for the twelfth time in a row. It is quite possible that Duplantis will again try to set up a best value in Monaco.
Five Germans there
Some German athletes are also represented in Monaco. Frederik Ruppert has a good chance of the front places in the 3,000-meter obstacle. The 28-year-old was able to run his personal best of 08: 01.49 at the meeting in Rabat (Morocco) this season. The German Karl Bebendorf, on the other hand, only has outsiders.
In addition, shot puts Yemisi Ogunleye, Dreifinger Max Hess and 5,000-meter runners Mohamed Abdilaahi also compete.
