The Mémorial Van Damme inaugurates a new Mondo-track resulting in an avalanche
of top performances.
The fast lanes were mastered by Denis Mitchell (10.03),
Gail Devers (10.84), Frankie Frederiks
(19.92) and Michael Johnson (44.29).
Even a rain soaked track couldn't stop Allen Johnson running
a superb 12.92!
And what about Kipketer (1.42.77),Daniel Komen
(7.25.87) or even Hicham El Guerrouj (3.29.05)?
And then two world records. Svetlana Masterkova wiped out
the previous year's defeat with a new world record. Salah Issou
not only broke the 10.000 m world record, he smashed it, lowering it into
26.38.08
