Olympic sprint champions Julien Alfred, Sha’Carri Richardson and Shericka Jackson are set to feature at the Miramar Invitational track and field meet this weekend.
Alfred, 23, and 25-year-old Richardson could go head to head for the first time this year after their memorable showdowns in 2024.
At Paris 2024, Alfred beat Richardson to Olympic gold in the 100m by 0.15 seconds, and it was then the reverse outcome at the Weltklasse Zurich Diamond League a month later in September.
American Richardson also won relay gold in Paris, while Saint Lucia’s Alfred claimed silver in the 200m behind Gabrielle Thomas.
Joining the superstar pair in Florida on 5 April will be Jackson, the 30-year-old Jamaican sprinter with five Olympic medals including gold in the 4x100m at Tokyo 2020.
Other names entered for the Miramar Invitational include Kishane Thompson, the Jamaican who ran the quickest 100m in 2024 (9.77) and won Olympic silver in the thrilling Paris 100m final.
Olympic 400m champion Steven Gardiner, former long jump world champion Tajay Gayle, world shot put silver medallist Danniel Dodd-Thomas and Olympic bronze medallist Rasheed Broadbell are also set to feature in Florida.
