The Brussels Diamond League 2021 will be headlined by Sifan Hassan along with Tokyo silver medallist Fred Kerley of the USA and Swedish-American pole vaulter Armand Duplantis.
For sprinters, Usain Bolt is a role model and Tokyo Olympics silver medallist Fred Kerley of the USA is no exception. The athlete has outlined his plans very clearly – to be the fastest in sprints.
Ahead of the Brussels Diamond League, Fred Kerley reaffirmed his plans.
He will be up against Trayvon Bromell, Michael Norman and Ronnie Baker, along with Canada’s Olympic 200m champion Andre De Grasse in the Brussels Diamond League. However, after clocking a personal best of 19.79s in the Paris Diamond League last week, Fred Kerley looks to be in good stead.

Olympic pole vault champion Armand Duplantis, meanwhile, didn’t shy away from world record talks. He said he was confident of breaking a record at the Brussels Diamond League.
