STARS TO WATCH

Other headline names for the first stop of the 2025 Diamond League include Jamaican superstar Shericka Jackson in the women’s 200m, along with a star-studded men’s 200m field led by Olympic gold medallist Letsile Tebogo, the season's fastest man, South Africa’s Akani Simbine, and world indoor champion Jeremiah Azu.

Botswana’s star athlete, Tebogo, shone at the Golden Prix in Gaborone, dominating the 200m, while Simbine impressed in the 100m, edging out African record holder Ferdinand Omanyala, who will also compete in Xiamen. Having claimed his first world title in Nanjing, Azu, the European 60m champion, is also a strong contender for the win in China.

In the women section, South African star Prudence Sekgodiso was on cloud nine after her claiming her first ever Diamond League victory in the 800m in Marrakech last season, yet that win proved to be just the beginning, as she went on to claim another win in Oslo a few weeks later and reach the Olympic final in Paris.

In Nanjing, the 23-year-old clocked a world lead of 1:58.40 to claim the gold medal, meaning she heads into this Diamond League season already in title-winning form.

Faith Kipyegon, a three-time Olympic champion, will race the 1000m with the aim of lowering the world record of 2:28.98 for two and a half laps. The Kenyan, who is also a world record holder over the 1500m, holds the second-fastest time of 2:29.15.
