Sprinter, Isaac Makwala has qualified for the men’s 200m final at the Diamond League. The final is scheduled for Zurich in September. His coach, Justice Dipeba told Sport Monitor that he would have preferred the 400m final.

“I think missing Rome at the beginning of the Diamond League worked against us. We are great and looking forward to hit the World Athletics Championships qualifying time in the 200m. We missed it by .02 yesterday,” he said.

Makwala resumed his Diamond League action last week with a brilliant performance in Lausanne. It was his first competition after the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games where he was instrumental in assisting the men’s 4x400m relay team to win a bronze medal. Makwala was up against strong opponents in 400m which included the Olympics 400m hurdles champion, the Norwegian, Karsten Warholm on Thursday. The race produced the tightest finish with Wilbert London out-dipping Makwala with a time of 45.17.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
