The season's best sprinter Ivet Lalova is the only Bulgarian to set off in the final series at 100m and 200m in Grand Prix, in Monaco.

After the run of 200m on Saturday, Lalova ended seventh clocking 23.37 sec, far behind the winner Veronica Campbell from Jamaica who stormed the finish with 22.65 sec.

The 20-aged beauty ran into the finals after her second place in Brussels and then ending third in the Grand Prix sprint at 100m in Italy on September 4 and 5.

The charming girl recorded her best so far performance during the Athens Olympics 2004 where she ended fourth at 100m and fifth at 200m in the finals. Despite leaving an arm's reach away from the bronze medal, Ivet Lalova opened a new page in Bulgarian athletics.

The starts due over this weekend in Monaco will mark the end of the sprinter season in the open.

The best athletes of the year will be awarded after finishes in Monaco.
