London Olympics silver medalist, Dominican Luguelin Santos is competing in the Diamond League in Brussels, Belgium at 21:05 this evening, Friday 7 September.
He is the top ranked competitor in the seventh event of the Diamond League competitions that are sponsored by Samsung. The Belgacom Memorial Van Damme is the last athletics meeting of the Diamond League for this year. Many of track and field's biggest names are in Brussels to battle for the Diamond Trophy in the 15 remaining events.
Santos is the favorite to win the 400 m race. He is competing against Angelo Taylor (US), Lalonde Gordon (Trinidad) and Belgian twins Kevin and Jonathan Borlee.
The competition's official web page reports on the competition: "Rounding out the sprints is the men's 400m where a home crowd boost for Belgian record holder Jonathan Borlee (44.43 SB, PB) can push him to a Diamond Race win. It won't be easy for the 24-year-old, who has tallied five points in the series, half as many as 18-year-old Luguelin Santos (44.45) of the Dominican Republic whose unlikely rise this year has already culminated with an Olympic silver medal. Astonishingly, Santos has finished further back that second just once in a dozen races this season. With six points, Angelo Taylor, whose full-lap hurdles honors are already the stuff of legend, also has a shot at the title, but he'll need Santos to have a rare off-day."
