British sprinter Amy Hunt achieved a second-place finish in the 100m at the Diamond League final in Brussels, signaling a strong performance and a surge in her confidence. Hunt stated she is "on the up" and "not afraid of anyone" following her silver medal.
Elsewhere in the athletics event, fellow Briton Georgia Bell finished fourth in the 1500m. Bell, who has secured three international titles this year including the world indoor 1500m, the Commonwealth Games 800m, and the European 1500m, was a pre-race favorite but did not contend for a podium spot in Brussels. She attributed her performance to a "long hard season," having competed in 19 races this year and experiencing fatigue both physically and mentally. Bell plans to regroup before the upcoming Ultimate Championships.
Poland's Klaudia Kazimierska won the 1500m race with a time of three minutes 54.05 seconds, followed by Kenya's Dorcus Ewoi in second and Australia's Jessica Hull in third.
In the women's 800m final, Switzerland's Audrey Werro narrowly defeated Dutch athlete Femke Broeders-Bol. Werro crossed the finish line in 1:54.75, just 0.06 seconds ahead of Broeders-Bol. The race saw British Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson absent due to injury.
Both Brazil's Alison dos Santos in the men's 400m hurdles and America's Masai Russell in the women's 100m hurdles, who set world records in the previous week's event in Zurich, repeated their victories in Brussels but did not surpass their prior record-setting times.
