“The League is only contributing so much emotion to the sport. I can see being something that people will want to join in the years. I understand that it is new. There are many questions around it, but I think each one is an opportunity. The opportunity for sports, track and athletes.”
The heptatlete Anna Hall, which returns to 400m for the first time since June 2023, impressed with an end of 51.68, ensuring eight points and third place in the general classification.

Only one day before, he had published a 9.79 assisted by the wind in the 100 meters.
“I felt quite well through the first race and the second race. Everything felt soft, I felt easy, I am in a very good shape at this time,” Bedarek said. “This race was only to execute and master the field and that is what I did. When going to Philadelphia and Los Angeles, I feel quite sure of what I can do there.
“It was difficult for me to enter 100 meters when it comes to other leagues, but Grand Slam gives me the opportunity to perfect my skills when it comes to 100 meters. All I needed was experience and simply having this format is helping me to see where all the teting teting teting tests are.”
Behind Bednarek, the battle for the second was intense. The Zharnel Hughes of Great Britain and the oblique Seville of Jamaica were neck through the final stretch, both stopped the clock at 20.13.

“The 5000m still does not receive much love, so having a full house, making the crowd respond to your movements, felt good. Ultimately, this complete series is about entertainment. It is about bringing more eyes to the sport so that I enjoyed and that I myself be good for everyone and I hope that the personalities of the people shine there.”
