The women s High Jump at the DN Galan meeting in Stockholm just got an extra lift with the confirmation that Croatia s two-time World champion Blanca Vlasic will also compete at the IAAF Diamond League meeting on 22 August.

Belete Assefa, winner of the men s 10000m on the first day, completed an impressive double when he also took the 5000m title on the fifth and last day of the 42nd Ethiopian athletics championships in Assela on Sunday (30).
