Thirteen meetings down, one to go. The IAAF Diamond League has travelled to 10 different countries in 2015 and the first 16 Diamond Race champions were crowned last week in Zurich. The remaining 16 will be decided at the second of the two finals in Brussels on Friday (11). Zurich’s Weltklasse and Brussels’ AG Insurance Memorial Van Damme are the only meetings in this year’s series to be held this side of the IAAF World Championships, Beijing 2015. Adding an extra dimension to both competitions, not only are Diamond Race trophies and US $40,000 on the line, but each discipline acts as something of a World Championships rematch. Or, in the case of the women’s 200m, the race that fans never got to see in Beijing. This year, though, Felix hasn’t been focusing on pure speed work as much, while Schippers now goes into the race as the third-fastest woman in history, having clocked 21.63 in the Chinese capital.That performance is something that Schippers took a while to come to terms with.“Before Beijing I didn’t know I was capable of running that kind of time,” Schippers said at the press conference on Thursday (10) ahead of the AG Insurance Memorial Van Damme. “I surprised myself. I hoped to go under 22, which I did, but it was faster than thought.”Asked if she thought breaking the world record of 21.34 was a possibility, Schippers didn’t rule it out.“I think more about it now than I did before,” said the former heptathlete. “I’m 23, I have plenty of time. Now I’m training more for the sprints, we’ll see what happens in the next few years.”Since winning in Beijing, Schippers has found that she is far more in demand now back home in the Netherlands.“It’s a crazy world now for me, it’s all new,” she said. “It’s nice, but it takes a lot of energy. A gold medal is very important to the Netherlands. It’s no longer possible to walk down the street with my dog because a lot of people come up to me. I like it, though. It’s only really hectic for one month of the year.”
