Pole vault, gentlemen:

Armand Duplantis rarely disappoints.

In Lausanne last week he excelled with 6.10 and a superior win as so often this year.

Now he is up against the best in the world again, but it doesn't matter what the opponents are called - Mondo is in a division of his own.

5,000 meters, men:

Rarely has a Swedish record felt so doomed to fall as now when EC number four Andreas Almgren gets the chance in Brussels.

If he just finds the right ridges to follow, he will beat Anders Gärderud's 13.17.59, which stood as a Swedish record for 46 years!!

High jump, ladies:

A field with all the big names.

World champion Eleanor Patterson and European champion Mahuchikh meet for the first time since the WC.

Add the all-around superlative Nafti Thiam with high jump as a specialty and we can expect a really sharp competition.

100 meters, women:

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce withdrew from the gala in Lausanne just before the start with slight sensations in her hamstring.

She is still on the starting list for Brussels.

The 35-year-old, who this year is better than ever, has lined up super times all summer.

Men's 800m:

All the medalists from the World Championships in Eugene are here with winner Emmanuel Korir leading the way.

Something to bite into for fresh European champion Mariano Garcia and silver medalist Jake Wightman, who surprisingly won the WC gold in his special distance 1,500.

SVT broadcasts the Diamond League from Brussels on Friday at 20:00 in SVT1/SVT Play (from 19:15 on SVT Play).
