Published on September 5, 2019, world champion Hellen Obiri is targeting a third consecutive Diamond League title in the 5000m event.
However, to achieve this feat, she will need to defeat two world record-holders at the last leg of this season's Diamond League set for Friday night in Brussels.
European champion Sifan Hassan, who broke the world mile record earlier this year, and Kenya's Beatrice Chepkoech, the world record-holder in the steeplechase, are both in tomorrow's field.
Obiri will also face stiff competition from Agnes Tirop, who beat her over 5000m in Stockholm and over 10,000m at the Kenyan Championships.
Other contenders include German record-holder Konstanze Klosterhalfen and African 3000m record-holder Letesenbet Gidey, who both finished ahead of Obiri in Stanford.
