Lieke Klaver delivered another strong performance after opening her season at the Czech Indoor Gala 2024 with a 50.54s in the women’s 400m. This time, she clocked 50.57s in the same discipline to break the meet record, smashing training partner Femke Bol’s 50.64s set in 2022.

In the men’s 3000m, Tokyo Olympics gold medalist in the 10000m Selemon Barega established both WL and MR in the Torun meeting, clocking 7:25.82. He defeated the 2019 Diamond League champion steeplechaser Getnet Wale, who ran 7:26.73.
