The Paris 2024 Olympics may have come to an end–but the 2024 track season is far from over. There are still four Diamond League meetings between now and the Diamond League final in Brussels on Sept. 13, the first as early as next Thursday, Aug. 22 in Lausanne, Switzerland. Despite a very long season, many athletes are keen to continue the momentum set in motion in Paris–or to seek redemption if they did not achieve their Olympic goals.
The Lausanne meeting will see another match-up between newly-minted Olympic 1,500m champion Cole Hocker and Tokyo 2020 gold medallist Jakob Ingebrigtsen following Hocker’s shocker of a win in Paris, where he knocked Ingebrigtsen off the podium completely.
Team USA’s Athing Mu will be keen to re-establish her dominance in the 800m, after a crash at U.S. Olympic trials kept her from defending her Olympic title. (Newly-crowned Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson will not be competing.)
Canada’s own Olympic 800m silver medallist, Marco Arop, will once again face off against Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi of Kenya. Arop ran 1:41.20 in Paris and is the fittest he has ever been, so this will undoubtedly be another very close race.
Josh Kerr and Yared Nuguse will join Hocker and Ingebrigtsen again in Zürich on Sept. 5, reuniting the Olympic quad that gave the world the most epic (and fastest) Olympic 1,500m final in history. The four men will battle for a Diamond League title and USD $30,000 in prize money.
Fresh off a world record in Paris, the Olympic and world champion pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis is wasting no time returning to competition; will yet another world record be on his radar in Switzerland?
