Moraa would be competing in the 400m in the Belgian capital with the hope of bagging her first Diamond League title in the category.

Kenyans were anticipating seeing World 800m champion Mary Moraa in action at the Diamond League Meeting in Brussels but she has unfortunately pulled out citing unavoidable circumstances.

Moraa would be competing in the 400m in the Belgian capital with the hope of bagging her first Diamond League title in the category but seems like her dream will have to be postponed to next season.

She, however, disclosed that she will be competing in the Diamond League Meeting final, the Prefontaine Classic, in Eugene, USA on September 16 and 17.

In a post on her Facebook page, Kisii Express said: “Good morning lovely people. Unfortunately, I won't dance for you this evening at the Brussels Diamond League. I was to compete in 400m but failed to travel due to unavoidable circumstances.

However, expect me at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League Finals in Oregon, USA where I am set to defend my 800m title, and perhaps, unleash the last jig of this incredible season. Wishing my colleagues competing in Brussels best of luck.”

Moraa has had a great season thus far, winning all her 800m races and her latest victory at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary where she became the third Kenyan woman to win a world title in the 800m.

Her focus now shifts to the Diamond League final where she will be hoping to successfully defend her title.
