This year, the tracks of Zurich will feature a star-studded lineup, with multiple notable athletes on board. In the 200-meter race, Noah Lyles, a wild entry, will again face the reigning Olympic champion Lestile Tebogo, continuing their rivalry before heading to Tokyo. In Zurich, Lyles is also in line to create history to win his sixth Diamond League title.
Olympic champion Julien Alfred will be a strong favorite to win the women’s 100-meter race. With team U.S. star sprinters Sha’Carri Richardson and Mellissa Jefferson-Wooden opting out of the final, Alfred will aim to surpass Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith and maintain her dominance in the event.
In women’s 400-meter hurdles, Femke Bol will have the chance to seize the opportunity. Since world record holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has shifted her focus to the 400-meter race this year, leaving the field open for Bol to win her fifth title. In the men’s 400-meter, University of Florida graduate Jacory Patterson can potentially lift the trophy, amid Quincy Hall’s absence. After clocking a world lead at Grand Slam Track Miami, the sprinter continues to maintain a steady performance.
In field events, world record holder Armand Duplantis will aim to maintain his streak and claim his fifth consecutive title in pole vault. In the women’s high jump, Olympic Champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh and Australia’s Nicola Olyslagers will revive their rivalry and bring their best to take the trophy home. In the shot put event representing the U.S. team, Chase Jackson and Joe Kovacs will also aim to become champions in the men’s and women’s categories, respectively.
