Full World Championship podiums in the men&rsquo;s javelin and men&rsquo;s triple jump will be reunited at the Doha Diamond League on Friday (19), as the Wanda Diamond League season continues with its seventh meeting of 2026.
Originally scheduled for early May, the Doha meeting was moved to June and will now bring together some of the strongest fields of the season so far, including several events featuring global champions.
The men&rsquo;s javelin once again looks set to be one of the highlights, with the 2025 World Championships podium all returning to action. World champion Keshorn Walcott, two-time world champion Anderson Peters and world bronze medallist Curtis Thompson will renew their rivalry in a field that also includes 2021 Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra, who makes his season debut, and Sri Lanka&rsquo;s Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage, one of the revelations of 2026.
Pathirage arrives in Doha as the world leader after his huge 92.62m victory in Rome earlier this month, which moved him to eighth on the world all-time list. He has won six of his seven competitions so far this year; his narrow loss to Peters in Rabat &ndash; his first ever Diamond League appearance &ndash; has been his only blemish on his 2026 scorecard.
Doha has long been renowned for big javelin marks, and several athletes in this field have produced their career bests there. Chopra joined the 90-metre club in the Qatari capital with his PB of 90.23m, as did Peters (93.07m) and Jakub Vadlejch (90.88m) in their memorable clash in 2022. With Pathirage already beyond 92 metres this season, the conditions and competition could again combine to produce something special.
There will be another World Championship podium reunion in the men&rsquo;s triple jump. Pedro Pichardo and Andrea Dallavalle both open their seasons against Lazaro Martinez, completing the podium from Tokyo last year.
They will be joined by world indoor silver medallist Jordan Scott, who has jumped 17.66m this season, and world indoor bronze medallist Yasser Triki, who has a season&rsquo;s best of 17.32m.
The women&rsquo;s triple jump also has a strong championship feel, led by world indoor and outdoor champion Leyanis Perez Hernandez and Olympic champion Thea Lafond. Saly Sarr, the world indoor bronze medallist, is also in the field, along with Davisleydi Velazco, who has won her past five competitions, including the Oslo Diamond League with 14.85m.
Olympic champion Marileidy Paulino will contest her first Diamond League race of 2026 in the women&rsquo;s 400m. She takes on Olympic bronze medallist Natalia Bukowiecka and Cuba&rsquo;s Roxana Gomez.
World champion Cordell Tinch lines up in the men&rsquo;s 110m hurdles against Jamal Britt, the newest member of the sub-13-second club after his 12.99 victory at the Los Angeles Grand Prix.
<h2>Zapletalova and Charamba look to extend winning streaks</h2>
Emma Zapletalova will aim to continue her unbeaten start to 2026 in the women&rsquo;s 400m hurdles.
The world bronze medallist has already improved the world lead and Slovakian record to 52.58 this season, and she lines up in Doha against Jamaica&rsquo;s Rushell Clayton and Panama&rsquo;s Gianna Woodruff.
In the men&rsquo;s 200m, Makanakaishe Charamba will look to build on the momentum of his recent 19.88 PB at the Lone Star Grand Prix. The Zimbabwean, who is unbeaten over 200m so far this season, takes on South Africa&rsquo;s Sinesipho Dambile and Alexander Ogando of the Dominican Republic.
The women&rsquo;s 800m features Olympic silver medallist Tsige Duguma, fellow Ethiopian Nigist Getachew, 2025 world indoor champion Prudence Sekgodiso, Botswana&rsquo;s Oratile Nowe and Lone Star Grand Prix winner Shafiqua Maloney.
In the men&rsquo;s pole vault, Greece&rsquo;s world silver medallist Emmanouil Karalis &ndash; the second-highest vaulter in history &ndash; faces Norway&rsquo;s Sondre Guttormsen and USA&rsquo;s Chris Nilsen, while home favourite Mutaz Barshim will contest the men&rsquo;s high jump, looking to improve on his season&rsquo;s best of 2.23m.
<h2>Ethiopian depth in distance races</h2>
There will be a sizeable Ethiopian presence in both the women&rsquo;s 5000m and women&rsquo;s 1500m.
The 5000m is led by Likina Amebaw, who won the Rome Diamond League with a world-leading PB of 14:18.41. She is joined by 2025 Diamond League champion Fantaye Belayneh and Medina Eisa.
The women&rsquo;s 1500m is headed by Birke Haylom, winner of the Shanghai Diamond League. Fellow Ethiopians Worknesh Mesele, Haregeweyni Kalayu and Saron Berhe also line up.
In the men&rsquo;s 3000m steeplechase, two-time Olympic champion Soufiane El Bakkali returns to action against Olympic bronze medallist Abraham Kibiwot and 2024 Diamond League champion Amos Serem.

Full World Championship podiums in the men’s javelin and men’s triple jump will be reunited at the Doha Diamond League on Friday

Javelin and triple jump stars set for Doha clashes

Narrow wins by Cooper Lutkenhaus and Timothy Cheruiyot, sprint victories by Julien Alfred and Letsile Tebogo, and statement triumphs by Chase Jackson and Alison dos Santos highlighted the Wanda Diamond League action in Oslo on Wednesday (10).
An 800m battle between the world and Olympic champion and the world indoor champion ended in a photo finish as Lutkenhaus made it two out of two for Diamond League victories.
The US world indoor champion won his Diamond League debut in Stockholm in 1:42.70 &ndash; then the fastest outdoor time in the world this year &ndash; and just three days later he emulated that performance at the Bislett Games in Oslo, running a world-leading PB of 1:42.08 to move to joint 14th on the world all-time list.
The 17-year-old tracked two-time global gold medallist Emmanuel Wanyonyi for the first lap, waiting for his moment to strike. Lutkenhaus kicked past his rival with 200 metres to go but Wanyonyi fought back &ndash; finishing just a hundredth of a second back as Lutkenhaus dived over the line to narrowly miss the meeting record of 1:42.04 set by world record-holder David Rudisha in 2010.
Marco Arop, who finished second to Lutkenhaus in Stockholm &ndash; a meeting that Wanyonyi missed following the birth of his first child &ndash; was third this time in 1:43.33.
"It was a very tough race and I had to dive for the line to be sure of the win," said&nbsp;Lutkenhaus. "I knew he (Wanyonyi) was on my shoulder and I was willing the line to come towards me.
"To beat the Olympic champion is awesome and it means a lot. I have not seen the grazes yet from my dive but I think they will hurt in the shower later."
Kenya&rsquo;s Cheruiyot dipped to his first Diamond League win since 2021, the 2019 world 1500m champion beating a stacked field in the Dream Mile. In another photo finish, both Cheruiyot and Yared Nuguse clocked 3:48.21 &ndash; the fastest outdoor time in the world so far this year &ndash; but after winning the 1500m from Cameron Myers and Cheruiyot in Stockholm, Olympic bronze medallist&nbsp;Nuguse had to settle for second place this time. Myers was third in 3:48.35 and the top 10 all finished inside 3:50.

<h2>Alfred, Tebogo and Dos Santos in control</h2>
Botswana&rsquo;s Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo cruised to his first Diamond League win of the season, clocking a season&rsquo;s best of 19.84 (0.2m/s) in the 200m despite easing down on his approach to the finish line.
Sinesipho Dambile was second in Stockholm and he repeated the feat in Oslo, running 20.12 this time. Jereem Richards was third in 20.50 and Gout Gout &ndash; who ran a world lead and world U20 record of 19.67 in April &ndash; finished sixth on his Diamond League debut in 20.60.
Saint Lucia&rsquo;s Olympic champion Julien Alfred picked up from where she left off last year &ndash; powering to victory in her first Diamond League 100m since her win in the final in September. Dominating the race, she ran a wind-assisted 10.76 (3.2m/s) ahead of world 200m silver medallist Amy Hunt (10.99) and Zoe Hobbs (11.03).
Brazil&rsquo;s 2022 world champion Alison dos Santos won his fourth hurdles race of the year &ndash; and his third head-to-head against home star Karsten Warholm &ndash; taking the 400m hurdles in 46.89. Dos Santos beat the world record-holder in Shanghai and Xiamen, and then won a promotional race in Stockholm, and he maintained that form to win clearly again in the 10th-fastest time of his career. Warholm, who hit an early barrier, finished second in 47.40.
Slovak record-holder Emma Zapletalov&aacute; also continued her strong start to the season, winning her third Diamond League 400m hurdles race of the year in 53.13. Rushell Clayton went one better than in Rabat and Rome, finishing second in 53.50.
<h2>Meeting record for Jackson</h2>
World indoor champion Chase Jackson turned the tables on world champion Jessica Schilder in the shot put, throwing a meeting record of 20.74m to clinch her first Diamond League win of the season. After finishing runner-up to Schilder in Shanghai and Stockholm, USA's Jackson showed she meant business by throwing her winning mark in the first round. The performance is just 21 centimetres off her own US record and improves the meeting record of 20.26m set by Valerie Adams in 2011. Schilder, who threw a Diamond League record of 21.09m in Shanghai, was second this time with 20.11m.

Freweyni Hailu threatened the meeting record in the 3000m, rebounding after her third-place finish in the 5000m in Rome by winning in a world-leading 8:24.22, 0.02 off the record. She led an Ethiopian top four and was followed home by Rome winner Likina Amebaw in 8:25.15, Senayet Getachew in a PB of 8:25.85, Hawi Abera in a PB of 8:27.18 and Netherlands&rsquo; Maureen Koster in 8:27.67.
Ethiopia&rsquo;s Addisu Yihune held off the fast-finishing Birhanu Balew of Bahrain to win the 5000m, running a world-leading PB of 12:47.62 to Balew&rsquo;s Asian record of 12:47.73. Yihune, who also won the Diamond League in Xiamen, took two seconds off his previous best, which was also run in Oslo in 2024. World 10,000m bronze medallist Andreas Almgren was third in 12:48.61 and Parker Wolfe took almost 10 seconds off his PB with 12:49.45 for fourth. The top 11 dipped under 13 minutes, including Australia&rsquo;s Ky Robinson who improved the Oceanian record to 12:50.82.
Henriette J&aelig;ger delighted the home fans in the first international race of the evening, winning the 400m in a season&rsquo;s best of 49.52, just 0.03 off the PB she set when finishing third in last year&rsquo;s Diamond League final. The 2025 world indoor bronze medallist ran unchallenged, finishing clear ahead of world indoor champion Lurdes Gloria Manuel (50.13) and multiple global medallist Natalia Bukowiecka (50.34).
Australia&rsquo;s world bronze medallist Kurtis Marschall won the pole vault in Stockholm, handing Mondo Duplantis his first defeat in almost three years. Duplantis wasn&rsquo;t among his rivals in Oslo but Marschall doubled his number of career Diamond League victories, securing top spot again with a clearance of 5.82m. Norway&rsquo;s Sondre Guttormsen was second on countback with a best of 5.72m.
Former world record-holder Renaud Lavillenie became the first athlete to make 100 Diamond League appearances. The seven-time Diamond League champion, who made his series debut in 2010, finished ninth on 5.42m.
After winning in Xiamen with a Diamond League record and the second-best javelin performance in history of 71.74m, China&rsquo;s Yan Ziyi secured another win in her first Diamond League meeting outside of China. The 18-year-old threw 67.11m. from her opening attempt and that proved more than enough for victory. She followed it with 64.81m in the second round before passing her remaining attempts. Norway&rsquo;s Sigrid Borge was second with 61.92m from the fifth round.
Jamaica&rsquo;s world indoor silver medallist Jordan Scott beat the two athletes who joined him on the world indoor triple jump podium in Poland &ndash; champion Andy D&iacute;az and bronze medallist Yasser Triki &ndash; by leaping a wind-assisted 17.66m (2.6m/s). D&iacute;az was just seven centimetres off that mark and so secured second place ahead of Triki with a wind-aided 17.43m (2.4m/s).
Davisleydi Velazco soared to her first Diamond League triple jump win, leaping a wind-assisted 14.85m (2.3m/s) in the first round. World indoor bronze medallist Saly Sarr was just 10 centimetres off that mark with a wind-legal jump in the fifth round but Velazco held on to top spot as her Cuban compatriot Leyanis P&eacute;rez, the world champion, completed the top three with 14.60m (2.2m/s).

Narrow wins by Cooper Lutkenhaus and Timothy Cheruiyot, sprint victories by Julien Alfred and Letsile Tebogo, and statement triumphs by Chase Jackson and Alison dos Santos highlighted the Wanda Diamond League action in Oslo

Lutkenhaus and Cheruiyot win brilliant battles in Oslo

Athletissima will feature a thrilling 200m clash between Letsile Tebogo and Gout Gout at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Lausanne on 21 August.
Tebogo lit up Lausanne&rsquo;s Pontaise Stadium two years ago with a stunning 19.64 victory. It came just two weeks after the sprinter from Botswana won the Olympic title in Paris with an African record of 19.46.
Australian teenage prodigy Gout set a world U20 record of 19.67 in April. The 18-year-old has faced Tebogo only once so far, in the semi-finals of the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, where Tebogo came out on top.
The women&rsquo;s 800m is also shaping up to be one of the highlights of the evening. Following her incredible 1:53.98 performance on Sunday in Stockholm &ndash; the third-fastest time in world history &ndash; Audrey Werro will compete in front of a home crowd with the ambition of producing another unforgettable moment.

Athletissima will feature a thrilling 200m clash between Letsile Tebogo and Gout Gout

Tebogo set to take on Gout in Lausanne

Just three days after the action in Stockholm, athletes will want to put on a show in Oslo as the Wanda Diamond League series moves on to the Bislett Games on Wednesday (10).
Rivalries are renewed in the middle distances, while Karsten Warholm and Alison dos Santos clash in the 400m hurdles, Julien Alfred makes her Diamond League season 100m debut after her 200m win in Rome, and Gout Gout races Letsile Tebogo over half a lap.
USA&rsquo;s world indoor champion Cooper Lutkenhaus made his Diamond League debut in the 800m in Stockholm, clocking 1:42.70 &ndash; the fastest outdoor time in the world so far this year &ndash; to beat 2023 world champion Marco Arop. They clash again in Oslo and this time they are also set to face Olympic and world champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi and Max Burgin, who beat Wanyonyi to victory at the Diamond League meeting in Rabat.
Yared Nuguse is also among the global medallists doing the Scandinavian double. The Olympic bronze medallist won the 1500m from Cameron Myers and Timothy Cheruiyot in Stockholm and they all race the Dream Mile in Oslo, joined again by Narve Gilje Nord&aring;s and Hobbs Kessler. Further strengthening the field are all three members of last year&rsquo;s world 1500m podium: champion Isaac Nader, silver medallist Jake Wightman and bronze medallist Reynold Cheruiyot.
The 5000m features the four fastest men of 2025 &ndash; double Olympic medallist Grant Fisher, world 10,000m bronze medallist Andreas Almgren and last year&rsquo;s Bislett Games top two Nico Young and Biniam Mehary &ndash; against world silver medallist Isaac Kimeli, Jacob Krop and Birhanu Balew.
Ethiopia&rsquo;s Likina Amebaw and Freweyni Hailu, who won the 5000m in Rome and the 1500m in Rabat, respectively, meet in the middle when they race the 3000m in Oslo. They face world U20 champion Aleshign Baweke, who finished second between her two compatriots in Rome and fourth in the world indoor 3000m final, as well as Linden Hall, Georgia Griffith, Maureen Koster and Hannah Nuttall.
<h2>Alfred, Tebogo and Gout star in sprints</h2>
After winning the 200m in 21.93 in Rome, Saint Lucia&rsquo;s Julien Alfred races her first Diamond League 100m since winning the final last September. The Olympic champion faces world 200m silver medallist Amy Hunt and Patrizia Van der Weken, who finished second and third respectively in Stockholm, Hunt breaking 11 seconds for the first time.
Australia&rsquo;s world U20 silver medallist Gout Gout will make his senior Diamond League debut when he lines up alongside Botswana&rsquo;s Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo in the 200m in Oslo. Gout set a world U20 record of 19.67 in Sydney in April &ndash; a time that remains the fastest in the world so far this year. The 18-year-old races for the first time since then, up against Tebogo, who ran 19.96 to finish second in Rabat, plus Sinesipho Dambile, who was second in Stockholm.
The women&rsquo;s 400m features a rematch between home favourite Henriette J&aelig;ger and Czechia&rsquo;s world indoor champion Lurdes Gloria Manuel, the top two in Rome, as they take on Natalia Bukowiecka, Nickisha Pryce, Lieke Klaver and Amber Anning.
<h2>Warholm vs Dos Santos</h2>
Home star Karsten Warholm set a world 300m hurdles best when he last raced at the Bislett Games and the three-time world champion will want to return to winning ways when he lines up again at the Bislett Stadium. Norway&rsquo;s world 400m hurdles record-holder has lost twice to Brazil&rsquo;s 2022 world champion Alison dos Santos so far this year and Dos Santos backed up those performances with another win in the non-Diamond League 400m hurdles in Stockholm.
Joining them in the clash that will close the Bislett Games programme on Wednesday are two-time world bronze medallist Abderrahman Samba, Matheus Lima and Trevor Bassitt.
Emma Zapletalov&aacute; continues her campaign after setting national records to win the 400m hurdles in Rabat and Rome, clocking 52.58 at the latter. Rushell Clayton was third in both races and races again.
<h2>Marschall and Schilder seek Scandinavian double</h2>
Australia&rsquo;s world bronze medallist Kurtis Marschall won the pole vault in Stockholm, handing Mondo Duplantis his first defeat in almost three years. Duplantis won&rsquo;t be in Oslo as the world record-holder switches his focus to his wedding, but this time Marschall will star in a rematch with Emmanouil Karalis, the Greek world and Olympic medallist who sits second on the world all-time list with his 6.17m clearance from February. Karalis has cleared six metres twice already this outdoor season, but Marschall beat him in their only other Diamond League clash so far in 2026, in Shanghai. Norway&rsquo;s Sondre Guttormsen will want to impress in front of a home crowd, while the field also features Sam Kendricks and Menno Vloon.
World champion Jessica Schilder seeks her third Diamond League shot put win of the season after backing up her 21.09m Diamond League record in Shanghai with a 20.89m meeting record in Stockholm. In another clash of global champions, she faces world indoor champion Chase Jackson, two-time world indoor champion Sarah Mitton and Olympic champion Yemisi Mabry (n&eacute;e Ogunleye).
The world and Olympic champions go head-to-head in the women&rsquo;s triple jump as Leyanis P&eacute;rez takes on Thea LaFond. The men&rsquo;s event also includes a whole host of major medallists as two-time world indoor champion Andy D&iacute;az, who won in Rome, faces world champion Pedro Pichardo, making his season debut, plus Jordan Scott and Yasser Triki.
The javelin stars China&rsquo;s Yan Ziyi, who threw 71.74m in Xiamen for the second-best performance in history. This time, the 18-year-old&rsquo;s rivals will include Juleisy Angulo, competing for the first time since her world title win in Tokyo.

Just three days after the action in Stockholm, athletes will want to put on a show in Oslo as the Wanda Diamond League series moves on to the Bislett Games

Stacked fields on show in Oslo

Switzerland&rsquo;s Audrey Werro stormed to third on the world 800m all-time list as she ran a Wanda Diamond League record of 1:53.98 to win a sensational race against Keely Hodgkinson at the Bauhaus-Galan in Stockholm on Sunday (7).
They pushed each other to two of the six fastest times in history, 22-year-old Werro becoming the first woman to break 1:54 in almost 43 years and Hodgkinson running a British record of 1:54.33 for the fastest ever non-winning time. USA&rsquo;s Roisin Willis was third in a PB of 1:57.56.
The target time was set at 1:54 and it was Werro who tracked the pacemaker as she reached 400m in 55.54. Hodgkinson kicked off the bend and led until the final straight but Werro, who won the Diamond League title last year, was in hot pursuit.
Werro kicked past the Olympic champion down the home straight, striding over the finish line in 1:53.98 to become just the third woman in history to break 1:54.
&ldquo;I still need to process. I am still in shock at this performance,&rdquo; said Werro. &ldquo;Today I was in great shape, I was ready mentally and physically, so it was a good day for me.&nbsp;
&ldquo;It was not my main goal to follow the pacemaker, but the race went like that. When they dropped out, I decided to follow Keely as long as possible, and I gave it everything I had. I need some time to process what just happened, but I am so happy with my time.&rdquo;
<h2>Meeting records for Schilder and Bouzayani</h2>
Two more meeting records fell in the shot put and 3000m steeplechase.&nbsp;
Dutch world champion Jessica Schilder got her second Diamond League win of the season, following her Diamond League record of 21.09m in Shanghai with a meeting record of 20.89m to triumph by almost a metre in Stockholm. After opening with 20.33m, she threw 20.89m in the fifth round to improve on the meeting record of 20.57m set by Valerie Adams in 2011.
World indoor champion Chase Jackson, fresh from a 20.66m throw to beat Schilder in Turku, finished second this time on 19.91m. Two-time world indoor champion Sarah Mitton was third in both Shanghai and Turku, and she repeated the feat in Stockholm with a best of 19.89m.

Tunisia&rsquo;s Marwa Bouzayani smashed the meeting record with 8:59.28 to secure her first Diamond League win in the 3000m steeplechase. The world fourth-place finisher showed she meant business, passing the pacemaker and running solo to reach the 1000m mark in 2:55.51. Despite that fierce start, she still managed to hold on and break nine minutes, dipping under that barrier for the third time this year &ndash; following her national record of 8:58.09 for third place in Shanghai and 8:59.25 to finish fourth in Xiamen. She won by more than 11 seconds, Elise Thorner coming through to clinch the runner-up spot in 9:11.01.
USA&rsquo;s world indoor champion Cooper Lutkenhaus impressed again to win the 800m on his Diamond League debut. The 17-year-old became the youngest winner of any event at a World Championships, indoors or out, by taking the world indoor 800m title in March. He picked up from where he left off, winning his first 800m race of the outdoor season in 1:42.70 &ndash; the fastest outdoor time in the world so far this year.
In a well-judged race, he tracked 2023 world champion Marco Arop to the home straight and then kicked past him. Arop was second in 1:43.11 and Slimane Moula was third in 1:43.41.
USA&rsquo;s Olympic bronze medallist Yared Nuguse pipped Australia&rsquo;s Cameron Myers to victory in the 1500m, edging past in the closing stages to triumph in 3:30.11. Myers settled for second in 3:30.32, while Timothy Cheruiyot was third in 3:30.67.&nbsp;The men&rsquo;s 3000m steeplechase was won by two-time Olympic champion Soufiane El Bakkali in 8:10.40.
Kenny Bednarek won his second consecutive Diamond League 200m, the US world and Olympic silver medallist following his 19.69 victory in Rabat with a clear 19.87 (1.0m/s) win in Stockholm.
<div><img style="max-width: 900px; width: 100%; display: block;" src="https://assets.aws.worldathletics.org/6a25b659fe0aa6f6157fb4c2.jpg" alt="Kenny Bednarek on his way to 200m victory in Stockholm" />

USA&rsquo;s world champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden stormed to victory in her first 100m race of the year, clocking 10.84 (0.8m/s) &ndash; her fastest ever season opener. Great Britain&rsquo;s world 200m silver medallist Amy Hunt broke 11 seconds for the first time, her 10.97 securing second place ahead of Patrizia Van der Weken (11.05).
South Africa&rsquo;s world fifth-place finisher Zakithi Nene won the 400m out of the outside lane, judging his race to perfection to hold off USA&rsquo;s Jacory Patterson &ndash; 44.48 to 44.69. Alison dos Santos led a Brazilian top two in the non-Diamond League 400m hurdles, clocking 47.11 to win ahead of Matheus Lima in a PB of 47.37.
<h2>Marschall defeats Duplantis&nbsp;</h2>
Australia&rsquo;s world bronze medallist Kurtis Marschall handed Mondo Duplantis his first defeat in almost three years in the pole vault.
Multiple world and Olympic champion Duplantis improved the world record to 6.28m on his home soil in Stockholm last year and has since taken that mark to 6.31m. But this time his best was 5.80m and so Marschall clinched his first Diamond League win with his third-time clearance of 5.90m.
After one failure each at earlier heights, both Marschall and Duplantis cleared 5.80m on their first attempts. Duplantis passed at the next height and that made the difference, as Marschall managed 5.90m on his final try. Duplantis then had two unsuccessful attempts at 6.00m, a height Marschall skipped. Duplantis used his final attempt at 6.05m and when he also knocked the bar at that height, Marschall was confirmed the winner. The Australian had two attempts himself at 6.05m and then retired with the win secured.
Duplantis had achieved a 40-final win streak since his last loss in Monaco in July 2023, those victories including five world title wins &ndash; three indoors and two outdoors &ndash; and a second Olympic title win as well as nine world records.
USA&rsquo;s world and Olympic champion Valarie Sion maintained her reign in the discus, throwing 68.60m in the second round to win by more than two metres. She backed that up with two other throws beyond 68 metres. World silver medallist Jorinde van Klinken was second with 66.57m. Sweden&rsquo;s three-time world champion Daniel St&aring;hl got a home win in the men&rsquo;s&nbsp;discus, throwing 69.60m from his single valid attempt to beat Matthew Denny (69.02m) and Kristjan Čeh (67.67m).
Hilary Kpatcha of France won the long jump by just one centimetre, leaping a wind-assisted 6.85m (2.4m/s) to beat Italy&rsquo;s Larissa Iapichino with a wind-aided 6.84m (2.1m/s).

Switzerland’s Audrey Werro stormed to third on the world 800m all-time list as she ran a Wanda Diamond League record of 1:53.98 to win a sensational race against Keely Hodgkinson

Werro goes No.3 all time with 1:53.98 800m in Stockholm

Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage produced the best javelin throw of his career to smash the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea meeting record with a world-leading 92.62m at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Rome on Thursday (4).
The Sri Lankan opened with 84.49m &ndash; a mark that would have been good enough to win &ndash; before launching his second-round effort way beyond 90 metres. His 92.62m added more than two metres to the meeting record of 90.34m set by Andreas Thorkildsen 20 years ago, moved Pathirage to eighth on the world all-time list and made him the second-best Asian thrower in history.
It was also the best throw in the world since the 2024 Olympic final, and secured him a clear victory over two-time world champion Anderson Peters, who was second with 83.91m, and world bronze medallist Curtis Thompson, who was third with 83.89m.
&ldquo;I tried my best today to set a national record and I managed to improve it by three metres,&rdquo; said Pathirage. &ldquo;Even though I had only two valid attempts today, I am very stable mentally. It was very hot in Rabat, but the weather in Rome is good and felt like ideal conditions in which to throw far. Winning today felt like a Sri Lankan festival.&rdquo;
There was another meeting record in the men&rsquo;s 110m hurdles, where Trey Cunningham became the 29th member of the sub-13-second club.
The 2022 world silver medallist won in a world-leading PB of 12.98, breaking the meeting record set by Allen Johnson in 1999. Jamaica&rsquo;s world silver medallist Orlando Bennett was a distant second in 13.31.
&ldquo;This was a long time coming,&rdquo; said the US hurdler, who lost his luggage on the way to Rome but thankfully had an extra pair of spikes and kit in his hand luggage. &ldquo;Beating the meeting record set 27 years ago by Allen Johnson, who is an all-time great, is special.
&ldquo;I am very excited for the World Ultimate Championship,&rdquo; he added. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s going to be the 16 fastest people and only one winner. My motto this year is to enjoy what is happening right now.&rdquo;
<h2>Zapletalova and Amebaw add world leads</h2>
Emma Zapletalova improved her own world lead and Slovakian record to win the women&rsquo;s 400m hurdles in 52.58.
The world bronze medallist&rsquo;s performance moved her to third on the European all-time list, and gave her victory over Olympic silver medallist Anna Cockrell, who was second in a season&rsquo;s best of 52.77. Jamaica&rsquo;s Rushell Clayton finished third in 53.14.
Likina Amebaw led an Ethiopian sweep of the top seven places in the women&rsquo;s 5000m, winning in a world-leading PB of 14:18.41.
Amebaw improved her best by six seconds and was followed by Aleshign Baweke, who clocked 14:18.54, Freweyni Hailu, who ran 14:18.94, and Senayet Getachew, who finished fourth in 14:22.37. The top four all set PBs.
Olympic steeplechase champion Winfred Yavi had led through 3000m in 8:41.17 and continued to lead at 4000m, but faded from contention in the final kilometre. She finished eighth, though was rewarded with a Bahraini record of 14:30.06.
<h2>Olympic champions Lyles and Alfred impress in sprints</h2>
Noah Lyles produced his fastest 100m since the 2024 Olympic final, beating a quality field to win in 9.88 (0.4m/s).
The US sprinter ran out a comfortable winner as Cameroon&rsquo;s Emmanuel Eseme set a national record of 9.94 in second. Olympic 200m champion Letsile Tebogo was third in a season&rsquo;s best of 9.95, world indoor champion Jordan Anthony fourth in 9.96 and Marcell Jacobs fifth in a season&rsquo;s best of 9.99.
Julien Alfred came within 0.02 of the meeting record in the women&rsquo;s 200m, winning comfortably in 21.93.
World champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, contesting her first individual race since the 2025 World Championships, was second in 22.17. USA&rsquo;s Anavia Battle finished third in 22.39 and world silver medallist Amy Hunt fourth in 22.52.
Henriette Jaeger won a high-quality women&rsquo;s 400m in a season&rsquo;s best of 49.60. World indoor champion Lurdes Gloria Manuel of Czechia was second in a big PB of 49.77, her first time inside 50 seconds, while Nickisha Pryce was third in 49.80 and Aaliyah Butler fourth in 49.83.
Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson finished seventh in 51.14, improving her PB by half a second.
<h2>Fabbri and Diaz delight home crowd</h2>
Leonardo Fabbri gave the Italian crowd a popular home victory in the men&rsquo;s shot put, winning with 22.14m.
He was the only man in the field to throw beyond 22 metres, beating two-time world champion Joe Kovacs, who threw 21.87m, three-time Olympic champion Ryan Crouser, who reached 21.50m, and world indoor champion Tom Walsh, who threw 21.49m.
Andy Diaz also delivered an Italian victory, winning the men&rsquo;s triple jump in his first competition since retaining his world indoor title.
Diaz took the lead in the second round with 17.58m, then improved by one centimetre to 17.59m in round five. Jamaica&rsquo;s world leader Jordan Scott finished second with 17.33m.
Miltiadis Tentoglou appeared to have done enough to win the men&rsquo;s long jump after moving into the lead with 8.20m in the fifth round and then improving to 8.24m in the final round.
But Bulgaria&rsquo;s Bozhidar Saraboyukov produced the winning leap with the final jump of the competition, reaching 8.26m (-0.1m/s). Cuba&rsquo;s Jorge Hodelin was third with 8.18m.
The women&rsquo;s pole vault was even closer, as two-time world indoor champion Molly Caudery won on countback from Olympic champion Nina Kennedy and Switzerland&rsquo;s Angelica Moser. All three cleared 4.80m; Caudery and Kennedy managed it on their first attempts, while Moser got over on her second.
Caudery&rsquo;s British compatriot and fellow world indoor champion Georgia Hunter Bell won the women&rsquo;s 1500m comfortably in 3:58.63, ahead of Poland&rsquo;s Klaudia Kazimierska, who ran 3:59.24, and USA&rsquo;s Nikki Hiltz, who clocked 3:59.26.
Elsewhere, European champion Gabriel Tual won a close men&rsquo;s 800m in a season&rsquo;s best of 1:43.66, holding off Mark English, who was second in a season&rsquo;s best of 1:43.80. Jamaica&rsquo;s Megan Simmonds won the women&rsquo;s 100m hurdles in a season&rsquo;s best of 12.50 from USA&rsquo;s Kendra Harrison, who ran 12.54, and Nadine Visser of the Netherlands, who clocked 12.58. Italy&rsquo;s Matteo Sioli won the men&rsquo;s high jump with 2.28m.

Pathirage and Cunningham break meeting records in Rome

Mondo Duplantis will return to the scene of one of his many world record-breaking performances when he contests the pole vault at the Bauhaus-Galan in Stockholm on Sunday (7), the fifth meeting of the 2026 Wanda Diamond League.
The Swedish star cleared 6.28m at Stockholm&rsquo;s Olympic Stadium last year, adding another centimetre to his own world record. Since then, the multiple world and Olympic champion and World Athlete of the Year has taken the mark to 6.31m, also achieved on home soil in Uppsala earlier this year.
Duplantis has been undefeated for almost three years and has already added more honours to his remarkable record in 2026. After setting his latest world record in Uppsala in March, he went on to win a fourth world indoor title. He opened his outdoor campaign last month in Shanghai, winning with an outdoor world lead of 6.12m.
Stockholm will be just his second outdoor competition of the year, and he will face three other men who have already scaled 6.00m this season: world bronze medallist Kurtis Marschall of Australia, Norwegian record-holder Sondre Guttormsen and USA&rsquo;s Zachery Bradford.
<h2>Distance fields loaded with global medallists</h2>
Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson will make her first outdoor 800m appearance of 2026. The world indoor record-holder takes on Diamond League champion Audrey Werro, who won recently in Rabat with an outdoor world lead of 1:56.56, plus 2025 world indoor champion Prudence Sekgodiso, world finalist Sage Hurta-Klecker and European bronze medallist Ana&iuml;s Bourgoin.
The men&rsquo;s 3000m steeplechase brings together the full podiums from the past three global championships. Two-time Olympic champion Soufiane El Bakkali heads to Stockholm after winning in Rabat last week in a world-leading 7:57.25, the second-fastest time of his career.
He faces world champion Geordie Beamish, world record-holder Lamecha Girma, 2023 Diamond League champion Simon Kiprop Koech, world bronze medallist Edmund Serem, Olympic silver medallist Kenneth Rooks and Olympic bronze medallist Abraham Kibiwot.
The men&rsquo;s 1500m could produce one of the races of the meeting, as a deep field takes aim at a meeting record that has stood since 1997. Hicham El Guerrouj&rsquo;s mark of 3:29.30 remains the Stockholm standard, and no one else has ever broken 3:30 at the meeting. That could change on Sunday, with world 10,000m bronze medallist Andreas Almgren among those lining up in front of a home crowd.
He will face 2019 world champion Timothy Cheruiyot, who is a three-time winner in Stockholm, world 10,000m champion Jimmy Gressier, French record-holder Azeddine Habz, world road mile champion Hobbs Kessler, Olympic bronze medallist Yared Nuguse and Australia&rsquo;s Cameron Myers, who is undefeated in eight races this year across distances from 800m to 5000m.
The men&rsquo;s 800m also has strong global pedigree, with 2023 world champion Marco Arop taking on world indoor champion Cooper Lutkenhaus, still a teenager, and world indoor bronze medallist Mohamed Attaoui.
In the women&rsquo;s 3000m steeplechase, Tunisia&rsquo;s Marwa Bouzayani, France&rsquo;s Alice Finot, USA&rsquo;s Gabrielle Jennings and Ethiopia&rsquo;s Kena Tufa are among the contenders.
<h2>Jefferson-Wooden opens 100m season</h2>
Double world champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden will contest her first 100m of the year in Stockholm.
Three days after racing over 200m in Rome, the US sprinter faces British record-holder Dina Asher-Smith, USA&rsquo;s Jacious Sears and Italy&rsquo;s world indoor champion Zaynab Dosso.
The men&rsquo;s 400m features six sub-44 performers. Olympic silver medallist Matt Hudson-Smith, Olympic bronze medallist Muzala Samukonga, world silver medallist Jereem Richards, Diamond League champion Jacory Patterson, world indoor silver medallist Khaleb McRae and South Africa&rsquo;s Zakithi Nene all line up in a field rich in one-lap quality.
Kenny Bednarek returns to Diamond League action in the men&rsquo;s 200m after winning in Rabat in 19.69. The world and Olympic silver medallist will face world finalist Sinesipho Dimbile and Cuban record-holder Reynier Mena.
<h2>Throws fields packed with champions</h2>
With a shot put line-up that features the winners of every global championship from 2022 onwards, Valerie Adams&rsquo; meeting record of 20.57m could come under threat.
World champion Jessica Schilder, who recently broke the Diamond League record with 21.09m, takes on world indoor champion Chase Jackson, fresh from a 20.66m victory in Turku, two-time world indoor champion Sarah Mitton and Olympic champion Yemisi Mabry (nee Ogunleye).
The men&rsquo;s discus brings together 2022 world champion Kristjan Ceh, who won in Turku earlier this week, three-time world champion Daniel Stahl, Olympic bronze medallist Matthew Denny, Olympic champion Roje Stona and world bronze medallist Alex Rose.
The women&rsquo;s discus features the full podiums from the past two World Championships. World and Olympic champion Valarie Sion takes on the two women who preceded her as world champion: Laulauga Tausaga and Feng Bin. World silver medallist Jorinde van Klinken and Silinda Morales are also in the field.
Two-time world champion Malaika Mihambo heads the women&rsquo;s long jump field, where she will face Diamond League champion Larissa Iapichino, world indoor champion Agate de Sousa and 2025 world indoor champion Claire Bryant.
The non-Diamond League women&rsquo;s 1500m is led by three Ethiopian athletes who have broken four minutes this year: Birke Haylom, Worknesh Mesele and Haregeweyni Kalayu.

Duplantis returns to scene of world record in Stockholm

US sprint stars Melissa Jefferson-Wooden and Noah Lyles are among the global gold medallists who will kick off their Wanda Diamond League campaign at the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea in Rome on Thursday (4).
After stops in Shanghai, Xiamen and Rabat, Rome hosts the fourth Diamond League meeting of the season &ndash; the first of five Diamond League events taking place throughout June.
Rome promises fireworks and Lyles will want to put on a show when he races in the final event on the programme.
The 100m features a clash of Olympic champions as Lyles, who won the 100m in Paris, renews his rivalry with Botswana&rsquo;s Letsile Tebogo, the 200m champion in the French capital.
Lyles clocked 9.95 to win at the Tokyo Continental Tour Gold meeting last month, while Tebogo will want to build on his runner-up finish over 200m in Rabat after finishing eighth in the 100m in Xiamen.
But it won&rsquo;t only be a two-athlete battle as the field also features USA&rsquo;s world indoor 60m champion Jordan Anthony, who has run 9.91 so far this season, as well as Akani Simbine, Ackeem Blake, Ferdinand Omanyala and home favourite Marcell Jacobs.
Jefferson-Wooden is not easing herself in gently as she makes her individual season debut in the 200m against world leader Julien Alfred, who ran 21.86 in Texas in April. It is the first time the two global champions have gone head-to-head over half a lap.
Jefferson-Wooden achieved a sprint treble at the World Championships in Tokyo in September, adding 100m, 200m and 4x100m titles to the Olympic 4x100m gold and 100m bronze she secured in Paris.
Saint Lucia&rsquo;s Alfred topped that Olympic 100m podium and then got world 100m bronze behind Jefferson-Wooden in Tokyo. Great Britain&rsquo;s Amy Hunt is another world medallist in action as the top two from the 200m in Tokyo clash again. Hunt&rsquo;s compatriot Dina Asher-Smith, the 2019 world champion, joins the race along with USA&rsquo;s Anavia Battle and Nigeria&rsquo;s Favour Ofili.
The 400m features Great Britain&rsquo;s Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson as she tests herself over one lap. The 24-year-old opens her outdoor season, in her first race since winning the world indoor 800m title at the end of a short track campaign that included a world record in the 800m and a PB of 51.49 in the 400m.
Making her Diamond League 400m debut, she races specialists Natalia Bukowiecka, Lurdes Gloria Manuel, Henriette J&aelig;ger and Lieke Klaver. Poland&rsquo;s Olympic bronze medallist Bukowiecka opened her 400m season with a win in Bydgoszcz on Friday after getting world indoor silver between Manuel and Klaver in Toruń. Manuel, Klaver and 2025 world indoor bronze medallist J&aelig;ger all contest their first outdoor 400m race of the season.
Former world record-holder Kendra Harrison faces two-time world champion Danielle Williams, Nadine Visser and Pia Skrzyszowska in the 100m hurdles, while the 110m hurdles pits the in-form Jamal Britt, who won in Shanghai and Xiamen, against Rachid Muratake and Trey Cunningham in his first race since getting world indoor bronze.
Emma Zapletalov&aacute; and Anna Cockrell race the 400m hurdles again after battling for the victory &ndash; narrowly claimed by Zapletalov&aacute; &ndash; in Rabat.
<h2>Big shots in the field</h2>
USA&rsquo;s two-time world shot put champion Joe Kovacs, home star Leonardo Fabbri and Jamaica&rsquo;s Olympic bronze medallist Rajindra Campbell have all surpassed 22 metres outdoors already this year and they will battle for top spot in Rome. Kovacs threw a world lead of 22.58m to beat world record-holder and multiple global champion Ryan Crouser in Rabat and they renew their rivalry as part of a stacked field that also features all thee medallists from this year&rsquo;s World Indoor Championships: Tom Walsh, Jordan Geist and Roger Steen.
This year&rsquo;s javelin top two &ndash; world leader Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage of Sri Lanka and Grenada&rsquo;s Anderson Peters &ndash; switched that order in Rabat, where Peters won by just 11 centimetres. They go again in Rome, joined by Julius Yego, Keshorn Walcott and Jakub Vadlejch.
Australia&rsquo;s Olympic champion Nina Kennedy will want to build on her 4.80m pole vault victory in Rabat &ndash; her first Diamond League event since 2024. She again faces Angelica Moser, Molly Caudery and Sandi Morris.
Ukraine&rsquo;s Oleh Doroshchuk is another athlete competing for the first time since the World Indoor Championships and all three medallists are in action as champion Doroshchuk is joined by Mexico&rsquo;s Erick Portillo and Jamaica&rsquo;s Raymond Richards. The full world indoor podium features in the men&rsquo;s triple jump, too, as home star Andy D&iacute;az Hern&aacute;ndez takes on Jordan Scott and Yasser Mohammed Triki.
Milti&aacute;dis Tent&oacute;glou leads the long jump field after his 8.49m leap in Limassol but fans won&rsquo;t get to see him renew his rivalry with home star Mattia Furlani after the world champion sustained an injury in Xiamen.
The home crowd will have Nadia Battocletti to cheer in the 5000m, however, as the double world medallist returns to the scene of her 14:23.15 national record. She achieved that when finishing third behind Beatrice Chebet and Freweyni Hailu last year and Hailu also returns.
Ethiopia&rsquo;s Birke Haylom and Australia&rsquo;s Abbey Caldwell have one 1500m win apiece following their victories in Shanghai and Xiamen, respectively, and they clash again in Rome.
&nbsp;

US sprint stars Melissa Jefferson-Wooden and Noah Lyles are among the global gold medallists who will kick off their Wanda Diamond League campaign at the Golden Gala Pietro Mennea

Jefferson-Wooden, Alfred and Lyles among stars starting Diamond League season in Rome

Morocco&rsquo;s Soufiane El Bakkali won the 3000m steeplechase at the Meeting International Mohammed VI d&rsquo;Athletisme de Rabat to ensure that local fans at the Wanda Diamond League meeting went home happy on Sunday (31).

USA&rsquo;s Diamond League champion Jacory Patterson secured back-to-back wins in Rabat &ndash; improving the meeting record to 44.11 after a well-judged run. He held off Great Britain&rsquo;s Matt Hudson-Smith (44.25) and USA&rsquo;s Khaleb McRae (44.40).
Slovakia&rsquo;s world bronze medallist Emma Zapletalova and USA&rsquo;s Olympic silver medallist Anna Cockrell went head-to-head in the 400m hurdles, Zapletalova using the challenge to launch herself to a world-leading national record.&nbsp;They were locked in battle off the final bend, but Zapletalova edged ahead and had the best clearance of the final barrier, using the momentum to take her over the finish line in 52.82 &ndash; her first performance under 53 seconds. Cockrell was second in 53.18.

USA&rsquo;s Cambrea Sturgis stormed to the first Diamond League win of her career, taking the 200m in 22.21 (1.3m/s) ahead of her compatriot Kayla White (22.28).
<h2>Meeting records for Werro and Nuguse</h2>
Switzerland&rsquo;s Diamond League champion Audrey Werro dominated the 800m on her season debut, controlling the race to ease to victory in a meeting record of 1:56.56 &ndash; the fastest outdoor time in the world so far this year. Olympic silver medallist Tsige Duguma chased her down the home straight but left too much to do and had to settle for second place in 1:57.24. World champion Lilian Odira was third in 1:57.27.
Great Britain&rsquo;s world and Olympic finalist Max Burgin tracked the pacemaker in the 800m and was never challenged, striding away from Kenya&rsquo;s world and Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi to win in 1:42.98 &ndash; the fastest time so far this outdoor season. Wanyonyi was second in 1:43.56, followed by Slimane Moula in 1:43.73.
USA&rsquo;s Olympic bronze medallist Yared Nuguse managed to hold on to deny Portugal&rsquo;s world champion Isaac Nader in the 1500m. Nuguse, making his track season debut, led the pack as they reached the home straight, but Nader kicked, glancing over his shoulder in pursuit. He ran out of track and Nuguse launched himself over the line, winning in a meeting record of 3:30.35 to Nader&rsquo;s 3:30.43.
USA&rsquo;s world and Olympic champion Valarie Sion was also among the meeting record-breakers as she won the discus with a final-round throw of 68.75m &ndash; just over two metres farther than runner-up Jorinde van Klinken, the world silver medallist, with 66.72m.
Australia&rsquo;s Olympic pole vault champion Nina Kennedy soared to victory in her first Diamond League contest since 2024. After missing the whole of 2025 through injury, she marked her return with a 4.80m clearance to triumph ahead of Imogen Ayris, Katie Moon and Angelica Moser, who all cleared 4.70m.
Ukraine&rsquo;s world record-holder Yaroslava Mahuchikh won the high jump after clearing 1.97m, while Grenada&rsquo;s Anderson Peters won the javelin with a throw of 86.08m
Nigeria&rsquo;s world record-holder Tobi Amusan won the non-Diamond League 100m hurdles, improving her own meeting record to 12.28 (1.2m/s) to match her season&rsquo;s best set when finishing second to Masai Russell&rsquo;s 12.14 &ndash; which was just 0.02 off the world record &ndash; in Xiamen. World indoor 60m hurdles record-holder Devynne Charlton was second in 12.40.
Ethiopia&rsquo;s two-time world indoor gold medallist Freweyni Hailu timed her kick to perfection to win the non-Diamond League 1500m in 3:58.25.

Morocco’s Soufiane El Bakkali delighted home fans on a night of meeting records and world leads

El Bakkali and Kovacs win rematches in Rabat

The Wanda Diamond League moves to Africa on Sunday (31) as many of the sport&rsquo;s biggest names head to Morocco for the Meeting International Mohammed VI d&rsquo;Athletisme de Rabat.
After stops in Shanghai and Xiamen, Rabat hosts the third meeting of the season, with a series of world and Olympic podium rematches set to take centre stage.
One of the most anticipated clashes will come in the final event of the programme, the men&rsquo;s 3000m steeplechase, where Morocco&rsquo;s double Olympic and two-time world champion Soufiane El Bakkali can expect huge home support as he takes on New Zealand&rsquo;s Geordie Beamish.
Beamish was the surprise winner of the world title in Tokyo, where he beat El Bakkali to gold. The inclusion of Kenya&rsquo;s Edmund Serem means the full World Championships podium will be reunited in Rabat, while Germany&rsquo;s Diamond League champion Frederik Ruppert adds further quality to the field.
The women&rsquo;s pole vault brings together the winner of every global title from 2020 onwards. Three-time world champion Katie Moon of the USA, world silver medallist Sandi Morris of the USA and world bronze medallist Tina Sutej of Slovenia are all entered, recreating the full 2025 World Championships podium.
They will take on Olympic champion Nina Kennedy of Australia, who makes her first Diamond League appearance since September 2024, as well as Britain&rsquo;s two-time world indoor champion Molly Caudery and France&rsquo;s 2025 world indoor champion Marie-Julie Bonnin.
The men&rsquo;s javelin also features a global podium rematch. Sri Lanka&rsquo;s world leader Ramesh Tharanga Pathirage takes on the three medallists from last year&rsquo;s World Championships: Trinidad and Tobago&rsquo;s Keshorn Walcott, Grenada&rsquo;s Anderson Peters and USA&rsquo;s Curtis Thompson. Germany&rsquo;s 2016 Olympic champion Thomas Rohler, Czech Republic&rsquo;s Jakub Vadlejch and Kenya&rsquo;s 2015 world champion Julius Yego &ndash; all 90-metre throwers &ndash; are also in the field.
There&rsquo;s another podium reunion in the men&rsquo;s 400m, where Olympic champion Quincy Hall of the USA is set for his first race in almost a year. He faces Britain&rsquo;s Matt Hudson-Smith and Zambia&rsquo;s Muzala Samukonga, the other two medallists from the Olympic final, while the field also includes sub-44-second performers Khaleb McRae of the USA, Zakithi Nene of South Africa and Jacory Patterson of the USA.
The men&rsquo;s 200m brings together the two most recent Olympic champions. Botswana&rsquo;s Letsile Tebogo will take on Canada&rsquo;s Andre de Grasse, the Rabat meeting record-holder, as well as two medallists from last year&rsquo;s World Championships: USA&rsquo;s Kenny Bednarek and Jamaica&rsquo;s Bryan Levell. South Africa&rsquo;s Sinesipho Dambile, a world finalist who recently clocked 19.77 in Nairobi, also lines up.
Jamaica&rsquo;s Shericka Jackson will look to continue her winning start to the Diamond League season in the women&rsquo;s 200m, having taken victories in both Shanghai and Xiamen. Bahamas&rsquo; Shaunae Miller-Uibo was runner-up in both of those races and will renew that rivalry in Rabat, while USA&rsquo;s Cambrea Sturgis arrives off the back of a 21.93 PB in Nairobi last month.
The women&rsquo;s 100m includes Jamaica&rsquo;s world silver medallist Tina Clayton and Italy&rsquo;s world indoor champion Zaynab Dosso.
<h2>World champions Wanyonyi, Odira and Nader lead middle-distances</h2>
Kenya&rsquo;s world and Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi opens his Diamond League campaign in the men&rsquo;s 800m, where he faces USA&rsquo;s 2019 world champion Donavan Brazier, Britain&rsquo;s world and Olympic finalist Max Burgin and Ireland&rsquo;s Mark English, winner of the Diamond League 800m in Shanghai.
Wanyonyi&rsquo;s compatriot Lilian Odira makes her first Diamond League appearance since landing a surprise 800m victory at the World Championships last year. The high-quality field also includes Olympic silver medallist Tsige Duguma, Switzerland&rsquo;s world indoor silver medallist Audrey Werro, USA&rsquo;s world indoor bronze medallist Addison Wiley, South Africa&rsquo;s 2025 world indoor champion Prudence Sekgodiso, Botswana&rsquo;s Oratile Nowe and Ethiopia&rsquo;s Nigist Getachew, who beat Odira in Nairobi last month.
Portugal&rsquo;s world champion Isaac Nader heads the men&rsquo;s 1500m field, where he will face Kenya&rsquo;s world bronze medallist Reynold Cheruiyot, Ethiopia&rsquo;s steeplechase world record-holder Lamecha Girma, France&rsquo;s Azeddine Habz and USA&rsquo;s Yared Nuguse.
<h2>Crouser seeks response in shot put</h2>
USA&rsquo;s Ryan Crouser will look to rebound in the men&rsquo;s shot put after finishing third in Xiamen. The world and Olympic champion faces Jamaica&rsquo;s Rajindra Campbell, who threw a national record of 22.34m to win in Xiamen, as well as Italy&rsquo;s world leader and world bronze medallist Leonardo Fabbri, New Zealand&rsquo;s world indoor champion Tom Walsh and USA&rsquo;s two-time world champion Joe Kovacs.
Ukraine&rsquo;s world record-holder Yaroslava Mahuchikh heads the women&rsquo;s high jump field. The Olympic champion faces Australia&rsquo;s 2022 world champion Eleanor Patterson, Serbia&rsquo;s world bronze medallist Angelina Topic, Poland&rsquo;s world silver medallist Maria Zodzik and Ukraine&rsquo;s Yuliia Levchenko, the world indoor silver medallist who won in Xiamen with 1.99m.
In the women&rsquo;s discus, the winners of the past three world titles will clash. USA&rsquo;s world and Olympic champion Valarie Allman faces 2023 world champion Laulauga Tausaga of the USA and China&rsquo;s 2022 world champion Feng Bin, while the field also includes world silver medallist Jorinde van Klinken of the Netherlands.
Elsewhere, USA&rsquo;s Olympic silver medallist Anna Cockrell and Slovakia&rsquo;s world bronze medallist Emma Zapletalova are among the leading names in the women&rsquo;s 400m hurdles.

The Wanda Diamond League moves to Africa on Sunday (31) as many of the sport’s biggest names head to Morocco for the Meeting International Mohammed VI d’Athletisme de Rabat.

Podium rematches the focus in Rabat

China&rsquo;s Yan Ziyi and USA&rsquo;s Masai Russell achieved the second-best performances of all time in the javelin and 100m hurdles, respectively, during a quality Wanda Diamond League meeting in Xiamen, China, on Saturday (23).
They did so in the very first and last Diamond League events of the programme &ndash; Yan throwing 71.74m in the javelin and Russell storming to 12.14 in the hurdles.
Yan launched herself into the history books again, throwing that Asian record of 71.74m in the first round of the competition on her season debut. Only Czechia&rsquo;s Barbora &Scaron;pot&aacute;kov&aacute;, who set her world record of 72.28m in 2008, has ever thrown farther. The Chinese teenager becomes just the sixth athlete to ever surpass 70 metres and the fourth to go beyond 71 metres.
Giving herself a late birthday present, Yan &ndash; who won the world U20 title in 2024 and was a finalist for the World Athletics Women's Rising Star Award in 2025 &ndash; achieved the feat one day after turning 18, improving her own world U20 record of 65.89m set last year with a performance that also surpassed the Diamond League record of 69.57m that had stood since 2011.
&ldquo;I came here with the goal of throwing 65 metres, so it really blew my mind to see that result,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;After that very first throw, I decided to pass the rest as I felt it would be smart to save some energy since I have quite a few international competitions coming soon.
&ldquo;What I want for myself now is consistency. I don't want this 71.74m to be just a one-time thing. I will see how it will go for the next couple of years and prepare for breaking the world record.&rdquo;
USA&rsquo;s Olympic champion Russell edged even closer to the world 100m hurdles record &ndash; her 12.14 (0.5m/s) just two hundredths of a second off the 12.12 set by Nigeria&rsquo;s Tobi Amusan in Oregon in 2022.
Russell already sat second on the world all-time list with 12.17 from Miramar last year but she consolidated that position by going 0.03 quicker with a North American and Diamond League record that saw her leave a sensational field in her wake.
Amusan was second in 12.28, while Bahamian world 60m hurdles record-holder Devynne Charlton further improved her national record to 12.37 for third place. Tokyo Olympic medallist Megan Simmonds was fourth, world champion Ditaji Kambundji was fifth, last year's Diamond League champion Ackera Nugent was sixth and two-time world champion Danielle Williams was seventh.

"I've been saying all year that I'm going to break the world record," said Russell. "I don't know when it's going to happen, but I keep getting closer and closer. I am blessed. I'm ecstatic. All the hard work is truly showing."
Brazil&rsquo;s 2022 world champion Alison dos Santos made a statement in the 400m hurdles &ndash; winning a fierce head-to-head against Norway&rsquo;s world record-holder Karsten Warholm for the second consecutive race after their 300m hurdles clash in Shanghai.
This time Dos Santos improved the world lead by more than a second, clocking 46.72 &ndash; a tenth of a second ahead of three-time world champion Warholm. USA&rsquo;s Caleb Dean was third in 47.75.
Uganda&rsquo;s Peruth Chemutai led from start to finish to clinch her second consecutive Diamond League win in the 3000m steeplechase &ndash; following her victory in Shanghai with another world-leading performance of 8:51.06, the eighth-fastest performance of all time.
The race had been billed as a world record attempt, with the pace lights set at 8:44 to challenge Beatrice Chepkoech&rsquo;s 8:44.32 from 2018. Things got off to an aggressive start, with Chemutai going straight to the front &ndash; ahead of the pacemaker and ahead of the pace lights. She led through 1000m on world record schedule in 2:53.75 but the pace dipped over the next kilometre as 2000m was reached in 5:51.99.
Chemutai, the Tokyo Olympic gold medallist, was followed by Bahrain&rsquo;s Paris Olympic champion Winfred Yavi and Kenya&rsquo;s world champion Faith Cherotich and they were all in contention at the bell. Chemutai maintained her leading position and held off a challenge from Yavi, who stuttered at the final barrier and had to settle for second place in 8:51.54 on her season debut ahead of Cherotich in 8:52.53.
Botswana&rsquo;s world 400m champion Collen Kebinatshipi stormed to the first Diamond League win of his career, running a world-leading meeting record of 43.92 &ndash; his third-fastest ever time and his quickest outside of a major championships. In his first race since anchoring Botswana to 4x400m victory at the World Relays on home soil, Kebinatshipi judged his race to perfection and passed Olympic bronze medallist Muzala Samukonga down the home straight. Samukonga held on for second place in 44.04 ahead of Zakithi Nene in 44.40.
Jamaica&rsquo;s two-time world champion Shericka Jackson backed up her win in Shanghai with another 200m victory, improving on her mark there with a meeting record of 21.87 (0.2m/s) &ndash; just 0.01 off Julien Alfred&rsquo;s world lead and Jackson&rsquo;s fastest time since the 2023 Diamond League Final (21.57). Bahamian two-time Olympic 400m champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo was second in 22.04 and USA&rsquo;s Anavia Battle was third in 22.29.
USA&rsquo;s Jamal Britt was another athlete to repeat his feat from Shanghai, winning the 110m hurdles again in another PB-equalling 13.07 (0.5m/s) &ndash; a time he has achieved four times already so far this season. Further demonstrating his consistency, it was his fifth 110m hurdles win out of five finals so far this year. Japanese record-holder Rachid Muratake was second in 13.13 and Jamaica&rsquo;s world silver medallist Orlando Bennett was third in 13.20.
Kenya&rsquo;s Ferdinand Omanyala turned the tables after finishing runner-up to South Africa&rsquo;s Gift Leotlela in Shanghai, winning the 100m in 9.94 (0.2m/s) to Leotlela&rsquo;s 10.00. USA&rsquo;s Trayvon Bromell was third in 10.03, the same time as Kenny Bednarek in fourth.

Greek two-time Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou matched the world lead of 8.46m to win the long jump. He opened with 8.37m and followed with 8.46m in the third round before deciding to pass his remaining attempts. Jamaica&rsquo;s Tajay Gayle was second with 8.32m, while Bulgaria&rsquo;s Bozhidar Sar&acirc;boyukov was third with 8.29m.
Italy&rsquo;s world champion Mattia Furlani, who jumped a PB of 8.43m to win in Shanghai, finished fourth on 8.28m after retiring from the competition in the fifth round due to a thigh injury.
Jamaica&rsquo;s Olympic bronze medallist Rajindra Campbell dominated the shot put contest, improving his national record by three centimetres to 22.34m for his first Diamond League win. Any of his three valid throws would have been enough to win as he backed up that fifth-round 22.34m with 21.80m in the second round and 21.88m in the third. USA&rsquo;s world indoor silver medallist Jordan Geist was second with 21.52m while world record-holder Ryan Crouser was third with 21.41m in his first Diamond League competition since September 2024.
USA&rsquo;s Olympic and world champion Valarie Sion threw 68.45m to win the discus by more than three metres. She also surpassed 67 metres with three of her other attempts. China&rsquo;s 2022 world champion Feng Bin was second on 65.03m and Dutch world silver medallist Jorinde van Klinken was third on 64.27m.
Ukraine&rsquo;s world indoor silver medallist Yuliia Levchenko won the high jump thanks to her third-time clearance of 1.99m. Her compatriot Iryna Gerashchenko, the Olympic bronze medallist, was second on 1.97m.
Ethiopia&rsquo;s 2022 world U20 champion Addisu Yihune pipped Germany&rsquo;s surprise Shanghai 3000m winner Mohamed Abdilaahi to win the 5000m, clocking a world-leading meeting record of 12:57.32 to Abdilaahi&rsquo;s 12:57.90. Biniam Mehary also dipped under 13 minutes, finishing third in 12:58.51.
Australia&rsquo;s Abbey Caldwell overtook Ethiopia&rsquo;s longtime leader Birke Haylom in the closing stages to win the 1500m &ndash; 3:57.26 to 3:57.79 &ndash; one week on from Haylom&rsquo;s world lead of 3:55.56 to triumph in Shanghai. USA&rsquo;s Emily Mackay followed them home for third in 3:58.13.

China’s Yan Ziyi and USA’s Masai Russell achieved the second-best performances of all time in the javelin and 100m hurdles, respectively

Yan and Russell reign supreme in Xiamen with second-best marks in history

One week after a series of record-breaking contests in Shanghai, many of the same athletes will renew their rivalries when the Wanda Diamond League moves on to Xiamen on Saturday (23).
The men&rsquo;s 400m hurdles brings together three-time world champion and world record-holder Karsten Warholm and 2022 world champion Alison dos Santos, just seven days after the Brazilian held off the Norwegian to win the 300m hurdles in Shanghai.
That result continued Dos Santos&rsquo; recent edge in their head-to-head contests. Not only did he beat Warholm over the shorter distance in Shanghai, he has also finished ahead of him in their past two races over 400m hurdles.
They will be joined in Xiamen by world leader Trevor Bassitt, the 2022 world bronze medallist, two-time world bronze medallist Abderrahman Samba and two-time Diamond League Final winner Kyron McMaster.
There will also be a rematch in the women&rsquo;s 100m hurdles, where Olympic champion Masai Russell returns after her meeting record and world-leading 12.25 in Shanghai.
Russell will again face a loaded field that includes world champion Ditaji Kambundji, three-time world indoor champion Devynne Charlton, world record-holder Tobi Amusan and two-time world champion Danielle Williams. Charlton finished second behind Russell in Shanghai, setting a national record of 12.38, while Amusan was third.
The women&rsquo;s 200m will also feature three global gold medallists from the Shanghai race, with two-time world champion Shericka Jackson taking on two-time Olympic 400m champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo and 2023 world 100m champion Sha&rsquo;Carri Richardson.
Jackson won in Shanghai in 22.07, her fastest time since the 2023 Diamond League Final, while Miller-Uibo was second in 22.26 and Richardson fourth in 22.42.
The men&rsquo;s 100m in Xiamen features the top eight finishers from Shanghai, including South Africa&rsquo;s Gift Leotlela, Kenya&rsquo;s Ferdinand Omanyala and USA&rsquo;s Kenny Bednarek. Leotlela won in Shanghai from lane one in 9.97, edging Omanyala and Bednarek, who both clocked 9.98, with just 0.04 separating the first five men.
The men&rsquo;s 110m hurdles field will also be familiar, as all nine athletes from Shanghai line up again. Jamal Britt, who came through late to win there in an equal PB of 13.07, faces world champion Cordell Tinch and Japanese record-holder Rachid Muratake.
<h2>Chemutai and Cherotich renew steeplechase rivalry</h2>
The women&rsquo;s 3000m steeplechase produced one of the tightest finishes in Shanghai, and the top two will clash again in Xiamen.
Olympic champion Peruth Chemutai won in 8:51.47, just 0.01 ahead of world champion Faith Cherotich. They will be joined this time by Olympic champion Winfred Yavi, who makes her season debut.
The field also includes Tunisia&rsquo;s Marwa Bouzayani and Ethiopia&rsquo;s Kena Tufa, who both dipped inside nine minutes in Shanghai.
Surprise Shanghai 3000m winner Mohamed Abdilaahi steps up to the 5000m in Xiamen after his German record of 7:25.77 last weekend. He faces Sweden&rsquo;s world 10,000m bronze medallist Andreas Almgren, one of six men in the field with a PB faster than 12:50.
In the women&rsquo;s 1500m, Birke Haylom heads to Xiamen after her meeting record of 3:55.56 in Shanghai. The Ethiopian will face world silver medallist Dorcus Ewoi and the quintet of Australians who broke four minutes in Shanghai, including Abbey Caldwell and Jessica Hull.
In his first race since anchoring Botswana to 4x400m victory at the World Relays on home soil in Gaborone, Collen Kebinatshipi heads the men&rsquo;s 400m field in Xiamen. The world champion lines up against teammate and fellow world 4x400m champion Bayapo Ndori, world indoor champion Christopher Morales Williams of Canada, South Africa&rsquo;s Zakithi Nene and Olympic bronze medallist Muzala Samukonga.
<h2>Crouser returns to Diamond League action</h2>
World record-holder Ryan Crouser will make his first Diamond League appearance since September 2024 when he contests the men&rsquo;s shot put in Xiamen.
The multiple world and Olympic champion has not competed since winning his third world title in Tokyo last year. His most recent Diamond League appearance was also his last defeat, and the last time he failed to throw beyond 22 metres in a final was in April 2022.
Crouser takes on world leader Leonardo Fabbri, world silver medallist Uziel Munoz, world indoor champion Tom Walsh and Olympic bronze medallist Rajindra Campbell.
The men&rsquo;s long jump brings together world champion Mattia Furlani and Olympic champion Miltiadis Tentoglou. Furlani jumped an outdoor world lead and PB of 8.43m to win in Shanghai, where Bozhidar Saraboyukov was second with 8.07m. Both men compete again in Xiamen, where they will be joined by 2019 world champion Tajay Gayle.
The women&rsquo;s discus features Valarie Sion, the world and Olympic champion, along with Jorinde van Klinken, 2023 world champion Laulauga Tausaga and 2022 world champion Feng Bin.
In the women&rsquo;s javelin, Diamond League champion Elina Tzengko faces Olympic champion Haruka Kitaguchi, European silver medallist Adriana Vilagos, world U20 record-holder Yan Ziyi and 2023 world silver medallist Flor Denis Ruiz Hurtado.

One week after a series of record-breaking contests in Shanghai, many of the same athletes will renew their rivalries when the Wanda Diamond League moves on to Xiamen
