Diamond League 2024: Daryll Neita in action as season nears conclusion in Rome
As athletes aim to finish the Olympic year strong, the Italian capital is set to host high-quality competition – not least in the men’s 100m, the final event of the evening.
Paris 2024 100m silver medallist Kishane Thompson and bronze medallist Fred Kerley come up against 200m champion Letsile Tebogo over the shorter distance, in a race which also features Italy’s Tokyo champion Lamont Marcell Jacobs and Great Britain’s Jeremiah Azu.
Neita and Amy Hunt line up in the women’s 200m against Olympic bronze medallist Brittany Brown, while Charlie Dobson goes in the men’s 400m.
Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon and runner-up Jessica Hull headline a women’s 1500m featuring GB’s Revee Walcott-Nolan, while Lina Nielsen contests the women’s 400m hurdles against Olympic silver medallist Anna Cockrell.
Aimee Pratt races in a women’s 3,000m steeplechase which reunites Olympic medallists Winfred Yavi, Peruth Chemutai and Faith Cherotich.
Home favourite Gianmarco Tamberi will hope to star in the men’s high jump, while Olympic pole vault champion Nina Kennedy and shot put gold medallist Ryan Crouser are also both in action.
