The 2023 Wanda Diamond League will host its penultimate event of the season in Brussels - Memorial Van Damme on Friday (September 8) before heading to Eugene for the 2023 season Finals next week.
Multiple world and Olympic champions will be in action, along with Indian women's javelin star Annu Rani, who holds the national record of 63.24 m and currently ranks 43rd in the world.

This will be Rani's second appearance in the Diamond League and the first since 2019 when she finished seventh in the Lausanne leg of the season. She will hope to use this opportunity to gain confidence heading into Asian Games 2023 as she has been on poor form this season.
Rani, who has a personal best of 63.82m that was achieved in 2022, has a season's best of 59.24m heading into the competition where she will be up against the likes of Haruka Kitaguchi (Japan), Flor Denis Ruiz Hurtado (Colombia), and Victoria Hudson (Austria), among others.
