Jelimo becomes a millionaire in Brussels; Bolt 9.77sec
September 7, 2008
Pamela Jelimo secured the $1 Million ÅF Golden League Jackpot outright, as Blanka Vlasic’s hopes of at least a share of the prize fell at the sixth and final stage of the ÅF Golden League 2008, the Belgacom Memorial Van Damme, which was played out in front of a sell-out 47,000 crowd in the King Baudouin Stadium.
Heavy rain fell before start of the main meeting timetable, but the Gods looked kindly again on Belgium’s greatest annual sporting spectacle, as while the air felt damp throughout the two hours of main action the rain cleared and temperatures stayed in the 16 to 18C range.
