Two weeks ago, Vleminckx, 23, had already raised his personal best to 10.35. With an unfavorable wind of 0.2m/s, his best time is now 10.34, good for 9th place in the Belgian all-time hierarchy. You have to go back to 2006, with Erik Wijmeersch, to see a Belgian run so fast.
To qualify for the Euro in Munich this summer in August, however, you have to run much faster, the limit being set at 10.16 and lowered further to 10.05 for the Worlds in Eugene in July.
Rani Rosius, for her part, ran the 100m in Dessau in 11.54 in the series and 11.57 in the final, she who has a personal best at 11.33.
Stijn Baeten ran the 1,500m in 3:41.04, far from his personal best (3:37:01.).
