The Diamond League season roars into Paris with the eight meeting of the season still on the schedule for Sunday even as a heatwave has sent temperatures soaring in large portions of Europe.
But that has not stopped a stacked lineup of athletes from taking center stage at Stade Sébastien Charléty as Noah Lyles, Mondo Duplantis and Audrey Werro will all be in action as the circuit tips past its halfway point.
Lyles bolted to a 9.88 win in the men’s 100m in Rome earlier in the month and has eyes on continuing his season build especially after grabbing a 14.67 world record in the 150m in Ostrava just over a week ago. He returns to the 100m and in Paris a stacked field of familiar names like Jordan Anthony, Trayvon Bromell, Marcell Jacobs and Ferdinand Omanyala are ready to make his path toward a first place finish into a true battle.
Werro has shifted the women’s 800m landscape by grabbing the world lead in 1:53.98 in Stockholm this month as her dominant season mounts. But a motivated Broeders-Bol enters the arena poised to prove why she moved up to the distance and is worthy of more than a secondary place on the podium.
Meanwhile, Duplantis has put his defeat in the men’s pole vault in Stockholm in the rear view as he lays the groundwork for a new unbeaten streak while his goal of being the most dominant jumper this season stays unchanged. On Sunday, he will know his competition well, with Kurtis Marschall in the lineup after taking Duplantis down in Sweden. Zachery Bradford, Thibaut Collet, Emmanouil Karalis and Sam Kendricks will also be in the mix for an event that now seems in reach for more than just Duplantis.
In the men’s 400m, Quincy Hall will line up alongside Matthew Hudson-Smith, a surging Collen Kebinatshipi, Zakithi Nene and Muzala Samukonga while the women’s 400m race features Marileidy Paulino, Lieke Klaver, Lurdes Gloria Manuel and Stacey-Ann Williams.
A loaded men’s 110m hurdles could be anyone’s race as Jamal Britt has found Diamond League success this season and faces off against Dylan Beard, Freddie Crittenden and Trey Cunningham as a crowded women’s 1,500m will be one to watch with Jessica Hull, Georgia Hunter Bell, Linden Hall, Freweyni Hailu and Nelly Jepkosgei in line for a dramatic win.
Marco Arop has the men’s 800m in his sights against Mohamed Attaoui, Eliott Crestan and Slimane Moula while the women’s shot put could come down to Sarah Mitton, Jessica Schilder or Fanny Roos as the women’s javelin field is led by Juleisy Angulo along with Maria Andrejczyk, Sigrid Borge, Jade Maraval and Yan Ziyi.
