In women 60 m Hurdles returning Briana Rollins (her one year ban ended on December 18, 2017) should run against Nia Ali and in women 60 m the main name is Marie Josee Ta Lou from Ivory Coast. Informs L´Equipe.
RunBlogRun opines: I love Stade Paris Bercy. I also love watching Lemaitre and Vicaut race, their build up and the attention of the crowd. In the LEquipe article, they titled it ” Duel A La Francaise”. I will be watching it from TV in RAK, as I will be covering the RAK half marathon. Should be a good race!
