Before Sha'Carri Richardson, Elaine Thompson-Herah must overcome a challenge in the Brussels Diamond League

If she triumphs in the Brussels Diamond League, Elaine Thompson-Herah will have the chance to end the year on a high note with a trophy in sight. Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah will compete in Brussels on Friday, September 8, hoping to advance to the Diamond League final in Eugene. The Prefontaine Classic final is the last meet before the Brussels Diamond League, offering athletes who don't yet have enough points for guaranteed slots the chance to compete and maybe earn it.However, she will have a respectable field to overcome in Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith, compatriot Natasha Morrison, who edged her to a second-place finish in Zurich, Gambia's Gina Bass, and USA's Tamara Clark, New Zealand's Zoe Hobbs, another compatriot Sashalee Forbes, and homegirl Rani Rosius. If she wins the race and makes the trip to the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Thompson-Herah will face Sha'Carri Richardson, aiming to defeat the world champion and end the season on a high with a Diamond League trophy.
