A thrilling sprint rivalry will be reignited on 3 May when the Wanda Diamond League arrives in Shanghai/Keqiao.
Global medalists Letsile Tebogo, Kishane Thompson, and Akani Simbine are set to clash in the 100m, headlining a stellar lineup.
Botswana’s Tebogo, the reigning Olympic 200m champion and holder of multiple world silver medals, enters the race as one to watch.
He finished sixth in the 100m final in Paris last year, where Jamaica’s Thompson claimed silver. South Africa’s Simbine, who secured his first global individual medal with a standout performance at the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing, will aim to continue his strong form.
Joining this high-powered field are Italy’s Tokyo Olympic 100m champion Marcell Jacobs, Great Britain’s world indoor 60m champion Jeremiah Azu, USA’s 2019 world 100m champion Christian Coleman, and Chinese sprinting star Xie Zhenye, adding further depth to the competition.
