Priscilla Lopes-Schliep (100m hurdles) was Canada's first Diamond League champion in 2010 and Dylan Armstrong won men's shot put a year later. Last September, Andre De Grasse sprinted to the men's 200m title in 19.76 seconds.

Shot putter Sarah Mitton became Canada's first-ever Diamond League Trophy winner in women's shot put on Friday, beating two-time defending champion Chase Jackson of the United States.

Edmonton's Arop arrived in Brussels brimming with confidence after lowering his national record to two minutes 13.13 seconds across 1,000 metres for the meet record at a World Athletics Continental Tour event in Zagreb, Croatia last Sunday.
