The 42nd edition of the KBC Nacht in Heusden-Zolder was one to remember. In addition to the Belgian records set by Elise Vanderelst and Cynthia, it was a finger-licking evening of athletics. In the end, the moments of heavy downpours did not manage to be a spoilsport.
It was anticipated that one Belgian record would get broken at the 42nd edition of the KBC Nacht in Heusden-Zolder. In the end, two BRs were bettered during a mad evening of athletics with the hoped for record set by Elise Vanderelst and Cynthia Bolingo improving the BR for the track lap.
Elise Vanderelst will attempt to break the Belgian 1000 metres record at the 42nd edition of the KBC Nacht in Heusden-Zolder on Saturday 3rd July. This is a legendary record – the oldest Belgian record in women’s athletics – which has been held by Anne-Marie Van Nuffel since 1979.
The 42nd edition of the KBC Nacht will take place in the De Veen Stadium in Heusden-Zolder on Saturday 3 July 2021.
Cynthia Bolingo improved her own Belgian Record in the 300m at the KBC Nacht in Heusden-Zolder. Bolingo is the first Belgian ever to dip under 37 seconds on an outdoor track. Rani Rosius raced to victory in the 100m on her home track. Australian Nicola McDermott created a high point – literally – by going over 1m96 in the high jump.
