EXXONMOBIL BISLETT GAMES, DIAMOND LEAGUE, OSLO, JUNE 9
AFTER battling for the 200m title in Beijing last summer, the “flying Dutchwoman” Dafne Schippers and Jamaica’s Elaine Thompson will line up for a ‘world championships rematch’ at the Bislett Stadium.
Schippers won gold ahead of Thompson in China – 21.63 to 21.66 – and the field’s two sub-22 second sprinters could challenge Gwen Torrence’s long-standing meeting record of 21.94 from 1994.
