The Diamond League season resumes after the Olympics as the world’s best athletes seek to run off any post- Paris 2024 blues.
The Athletissima meeting in Lausanne is the 11th leg of the campaign and a star-studded field has been assembled, with Jakob Ingebrigtsen looking to bounce back in the 1500m and Letsile Tebogo back on the track in an individual event for the first time since his stunning 200m gold.
Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita are among the British hopes with the pair part of an intriguing 100m field, and Matthew Hudson-Smith also in action.
And a night prior to events at the stadium, Mondo Duplantis will look to pole vault into the record books again on the Place de la Navigation on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Here’s everything you need to know.
