Fast track for fast people!

Louis II stadium is getting a lifting this year. Thanks to its partner Conica, Herculis meeting will benefit from a track completely renovated, for the greatest pleasure of the athletes who will be there on Thursday 22nd of July.

Indeed, some "time machines" are already announced be at Herculis. This is why we will find Lashinda Demus on 400m Hurdles, and Augustine Choge on 1500m.

Monaco is a special place for Lashinda Demus. It is here that she ran her personal best in 52.63 last year, after a race she dominated from the beginning to the end to finish at only 3 little tenths behind the world record of Yuliya Pechenkina of 52.34. Silver medal at the World Championships last summer, she arrives this year undefeated, and leader of both Diamond Race and World Top Lists, with as a target this record promised to her.

On the 1500m, a specialist of the event will be present. Augustine Choge, is the Commonwealth Champion on the 5000m but current world leader on the 1500m in a time of 3.32.20, in the continuity of his precedent year where he ended up the season with the world best time in 3.29.47. He will come to Monaco with his mind the idea of something great, and his world best set in Shanghai might be no longer accurate.

All the components for record races are gathered: great athletes on a track favorable to great performances, to follow at stadium Louis II on July 22!
