Brussels, Belgium - The Belgacom Memorial Van Damme, the finale of the ÅF Golden League 2008, takes place in the Belgian capital on Friday 5 September 2008. The meeting will focus on Beijing achievements, a notable retirement, and of course the last stage of the ÅF Golden League $1 Million Jackpot.

A capacity audience of 47,000 spectators in the King Baudouin Stadium will salute the Olympic achievements of three-time Beijing sprint champion and World record breaker Usain Bolt of Jamaica, and of their home Olympic stars, High Jump gold medallist Tia Hellebaut, and Kim Gevaert who anchored the Belgian women’s 4x100m relay team to silver. The adoration will be tinged with sadness as, Gevaert, the double European sprint champion will retire at the end of this meeting.
