Published by IAAF on April 25, 2016

Organisers of the AA Drink FBK Games have confirmed that world 200m champion Dafne Schippers and world indoor 1500m champion Sifan Hassan will compete in front of their home crowd at the IAAF World Challenge meeting in Hengelo on 22 May.

Last year in Hengelo, Schippers won the 100m with a Dutch record of 10.92, a time she went on to improve twice at the IAAF World Championships Beijing 2015 en route to taking the silver medal in that event.

Schippers, who last weekend opened her outdoor season with a world-leading clocking of 22.25, will contest the 200m in Hengelo this year.
