The second Diamond League meeting of the season will see Olympic and world champions go for 100m glory in the men’s race.
Some of the biggest names in sprinting are set to clash for what will be a highly anticipated 100m race at the 2025 Diamond League meeting in Shanghai/Keqiao on 3 May.
Letsile Tebogo, Kishane Thompson, Christian Coleman and Marcell Jacobs will all go head to head in the People’s Republic of China at the second Diamond League event of the season.
Tebogo made history at Paris 2024 when winning gold in the 200m, becoming Botswana’s first-ever Olympic champion.
After five Diamond League victories last season, Tebogo is now shifting his focus to the 100m as the 21-year-old aims to add another major title to his name.
Lining up alongside him will be Jamaica’s Thompson, who won silver in the 100m at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The Jamaican sprinter is quickly cementing his place among the fastest men on the planet and will be a major threat in Keqiao.
Italy’s Jacobs meanwhile secured his place in Olympic history when he stunned the world at Tokyo 2020, becoming the first Italian to win Olympic gold in the men’s 100m.
Also in the field is American Coleman, a former world champion who has won multiple Diamond League titles.
The men’s 100m in Keqiao also features South Africa’s Akani Simbine, Great Britain’s Jeremiah Azu, and the People’s Republic of China’s Xie Zhenye.
