The 43rd edition of the KBC Nacht did not disappoint. During a sun-drenched athletics evening in Heusden-Zolder, Tibo De Smet hit the jackpot of Belgian performances. De Smet dropped below 1’45 in the 800m and is only the fifth Belgian to do so. Ruben Verheyden nicely ducked under the European Championships limit in the 1500m. Rani Rosius and Noor Vidts also put in a good performance.

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.
