ATHLETICS Elaine Thompson to go head-to-head with Great Britain's sprinting ace in Brussels Diamond League
Thompson opened her Diamond League campaign in Zurich where she finished third behind Sha’Carri Richardson and compatriot Natasha Morrison.
Adola won the Berlin Marathon in 2021 and lines up with a Personal Best time of 2:03:46 to his credit.
The Ethiopian stands out not only for his impressive record time, achieved in his marathon debut in Berlin in 2017, but also for challenging the great Eliud Kipchoge up to the 40-kilometer mark. Unfortunately, injuries have halted Adola’s progress in recent times but he is slowly coming back.
Misoi’s compatriot Samwel Mailu who finished runner-up last year will also be in the race with the hope of going one place better.
Demonstrating consistent form, Mailu triumphed at the Vienna Marathon on April 23 with a personal and course record of 2:05:08, ranking him 10th in the 2023 marathon standings.
