Tactical Mary Moraa reclaimed her Diamond League title in the 800m race after a crucial victory in Brussels on Friday, September 13, 2024.

The night action saw the Kisii Express, as Moraa is famously known, register a season-best of 1:56.56, ending her campaign on a high. Olympic bronze medallist Georgia Bell of Great Britain was second in 1:57.50.

In the 3000m steeplechase, Amos Serem reigned supreme. The Kenyan managed to beat his Olympic champion rival Soufiane El Bakkali of Morocco, who hasn’t lost a race in the discipline since September 2021.

Serem won in 8:06.90 to El Bakkali’s 8:08.60.

In the 1500m, Timothy Cheruiyot was unsuccessful in his bid to beat his ever-close rival Jakob Ingebrigtsen of Norway.

The Norwegian bounced back from his defeat in Zurich to win the competition in 3:30.37 in a field that consisted of Olympic champion Cole Hocker and Zurich winner Yared Nuguse.

Cheruiyot was second in 3:30.93, 0.01 ahead of Hocker, as Nuguse finished sixth.

In the 5000m men’s race, Nicholas Kipkorir could not outshine his mainly Ethiopian rivals. Berihu Aregawi, who clocked one of the fastest 5000m performances in history, won the race.

This was Aregawi’s first track victory of 2024, as he clocked 12:43.66, and this time was just a few seconds shy of the meeting record, but it still ranks as the 18th fastest performance in history and came in a race where four men finished inside 12:50, according to World Athletics.

Meanwhile, Yomif Kejelcha led the field through 3000m in 7:42.07 with Aregawi and Hagos Gebrhiwet, the second-fastest man in history, challenging him at that time.

Aregawi, who finished second in the 10,000m at the Paris Olympics and over 3000m when Ingebrigtsen broke the world record in Silesia, this time proved to have the superior kick as he won in 12:43.66.

Gebrhiwet was second in 12:44.25, ahead of Telahun Haile Bekele, who clocked 12:45.63, as Kipkorir finished fourth, finishing in 12:49.59.
