The upcoming Prefontaine Classic will feature world champions Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman in the 100m event. Richardson, who won last year’s World Championships in Budapest with a time of 10.65, will be up against tough competition from athletes like Julien Alfred and Marie-Josee Ta Lou. Coleman, who took the Diamond Trophy in the 100m event last year, will also be competing alongside athletes like Ferdinand Omanyala and Ackeem Blake.
In addition to the 100m event, the men’s 200m event at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Eugene promises to be highly competitive. Erriyon Knighton, Letsile Tebogo, and Kenny Bednarek are all expected to race in this event. Knighton, who has a lifetime best of 19.49 and won silver at last year’s World Championships at the young age of 20, is sure to put up a strong performance. Tebogo, a talented athlete from Botswana, has achieved significant success so far in his career and is expected to be a force to be reckoned with. Bednarek, who claimed Olympic silver in 2021 and world silver in 2022, is known for his versatility in sprinting events and is likely to give Knighton and Tebogo a run for their money.
