Many events at the Istvan Gyulai Memorial in Szekesfehervar – a
World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meeting – on Monday and Tuesday (5-6) will offer a sneak preview of what may happen at the Olympic Games in a few weeks’ time.
In fact, the men’s 400m should come with a spoiler alert because world record-holder Wayde van Niekerk and US champion Michael Norman have decided that the Hungarian city, and not Tokyo, should be the site of their first ever head-to-head.
It will also be the first time that Norman takes on world 400m champion Steven Gardiner of The Bahamas, setting up an intriguing three-way battle over one lap of the track.
