A busy end to the Diamond League season continues apace as a strong field assembles in Lausanne just a few days after the last meet in Poland.
The Silesia event featured an entertaining sprint duel between Kishane Thompson and Olympic champion Noah Lyles of the United States, and the pair were set to clash again at the Athletissima meet with the World Athletics Championships looming next month, but the Jamaican has pulled out of the final three Diamond League meets, citing shin discomfort.
Fresh from a stunning return to action after injury, Keely Hodgkinson will bid for more two-lap success in the 800 metres, and will go head-to-head with British middle-distance rival Georgia Hunter-Bell.
With the Diamond League finals across Switzerland in Zurich now just a week away, plenty of others will be looking to build momentum into a key part of the season.
Here’s everything you need to know.
When is the Lausanne Diamond League event?
