# 2022 Memorial Van Damme

The 2022 Memorial Van Damme was the 46th edition of the annual track and field meeting in Brussels, Belgium. Held on 2 September at the King Baudouin Stadium, it was the twelfth and penultimate leg of the 2022 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit. The shot put event was held on 1 September, the day before the rest of the meeting. Although Memorial Van Damme and Weltklasse Zürich co-hosted the finals in 2019, in 2021 and 2022 the series moved to a single final in Zürich.
For Americans, the meeting was highlighted by Grant Fisher losing to Jacob Krop but running 12:46.96 to break the American record over 5000 metres.
Pre-race favorites Mondo Duplantis, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, and Laura Muir were upset by Ernest John Obiena, Shericka Jackson, and Ciara Mageean. Erriyon Knighton won the 200 metres as an 18 year old, while Kara Winger won the javelin throw 12 years after she was the last American to win the event at a Diamond League competition.

## Results

Athletes competing in the Diamond League disciplines earned extra compensation and points which went towards qualifying for the Diamond League finals in Zürich. First place earned 8 points, with each step down in place earning one less point than the previous, until no points are awarded in 9th place or lower.
