Alison dos Santos, commonly referred to as Piu, claimed her third Diamond League title in the 400-meter hurdles on Saturday (Sep. 5) during the Brussels leg of the circuit in Belgium. The Brazilian hurdler dominated the race, completing it in 46.70 seconds, showcasing a significant margin of victory. Noteworthy performances were seen from Brazil, with Matheus Lima securing the bronze with a time of 48.18 seconds, and Trevor Bassitt from America taking the silver at 48.03 seconds.
Alison's consistent form shone through as he triumphed in all six 400-meter hurdles races he participated in on the 2026 Diamond League. This remarkable achievement is coupled with his win in the prestigious competition, securing first place in both Brussels and other cities including Stockholm, Sweden; Zurich, Switzerland; Xiamen, China; Oslo, Norway; and Silesia, Poland. The only leg he missed was the London leg in July. Piu had already clinched two Diamond League titles earlier in his career, in 2022 and 2024.
