Felix Sanchez runs again

Olympic gold medalist in the 400-meter hurdle race and local hero, Felix Sanchez, runs again today in the Memorial Van Damme, TDK Golden League meet in Brussels, Belgium. The race is scheduled to take place at 21h20m, or 3:20pm local time, with the competition to be aired on Channel 15 from 1pm to 4pm.

Sanchez is still in the running for the US$1-million TDK Golden League jackpot, or at least a share of the prize that is paid to those individuals who win their individual league events. Others competing for the jackpot are Swede Christian Olsson (triple jump), Bahamian Tonique Williams-Darling (400m) and South African Hestrie Cloete (high jump). The jackpot will be split following a final meet scheduled for 12 September in Berlin. To claim their prize money, the athletes must also take part in the World Athletics Final in Monaco on 18/19 September.
