Ramil Guliyev may have surprised many of those in the Olympic stadium in London, when he won the 200 meters in the WC in 2017, but he will not have the element of surprise in 2019. In 2018, Ramil took the European Athletics Outdoor Championship. In 2019, he has been battling Noah Lyles, the prohibiive favorite in Doha 2019. Last weekend, Ramil ran 19.86, a season best, to Noah Lyles’ 19.74!
How fit is Ramil Guliyev? Quite fit! He spoke with us on Sunday, 8 September 2019, about the Match, how he races and how ready he will be for Doha.
