The Diamond League season picks up in Europe as the action intensifies for some of the world’s top athletes.
The three-stop Asian swing was followed by a short trip to north Africa but this next fortnight is hectic, with four meets in quick succession.
A number of Olympic champions are in action at the event also known as the Golden Gala, among them home hero Gianmarco Tamberi in a strong high jump field that also includes Paris 2024 gold medallist Hamish Kerr.
Distance star Nadia Battocletti will also be roared on by the Rome fans as she duels with Beatrice Chebet over 5,000m, while Quincy Hall will hope to pick up his form in the 400m.
Here’s everything you need to know.
