Further global medallists have been announced for the Athletissima Wanda Diamond League meeting in Lausanne on 20 August.
Multiple world and Olympic champion Noah Lyles will renew his rivalry with Olympic 100m silver medallist Kishane Thompson, Oblique Seville and Courtney Lindsey as they join the previously announced Marcell Jacobs in the men’s 100m.
The women’s 200m will see the already announced Olympic 100m champion Julien Alfred go up against 2019 world champion Dina Asher-Smith and two-time world 200m gold medallist Shericka Jackson.
In the 110m hurdles, world leader Cordell Tinch – who clocked 12.87 in May – will take on 2022 world silver medallist Trey Cunningham, Enrique Llopis, Jason Joseph and Just Kwaou-Mathey, who recently dipped under 13 seconds at the French Championships.
The women’s high jump will bring together all three medallists from the Olympic Games: Yaroslava Mahuchikh, Nicola Olyslagers and Eleanor Patterson. They will be joined by world U20 champion Angelina Topic.
