Cameron Myers wins 1500m Diamond League final in Brussels
Australian runner Cameron Myers secured a major victory in the 1500m final at the Diamond League in Brussels, clocking a time of 3:30.14. Myers utilized a tactical approach, staying relaxed and waiting for a gap to open in the final 60 meters to surge past Kenya’s Phanuel Koech, who finished second in 3:30.18. Ethan Strand of the United States took third place.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen, continuing his comeback following Achilles surgery, led much of the race but was overtaken in the final stretch, ultimately finishing fourth with a season-best time of 3:30.52. Following the race, Ingebrigtsen expressed significant frustration with the competition, describing the field as “a bunch of cowards” and “losers,” while also criticizing the performance of the pacemakers.
