The Diamond League season comes to a head with the second of a two-day finale, with the winner of each event crowned this year’s champion.

Not just the culmination of the Diamond League season, spanning 15 meets across four continents, this weekend’s results will also be crucial in handing out wildcard spots to all 27 champions for September’s World Athletics Championships in Tokyo.

With so much at stake the start list is dazzling, with Olympic champions packing out a star-studded field in Switzerland.

Olympic 100m and 200m champions Noah Lyles and Letsile Tobogo will resume their rivalry in the 200m, with the American hoping to become the first male track athlete to notch six titles, while hurdles supremo Femke Bol will be looking to defend her title and fine-tune her form ahead of Worlds next month.

Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith will be in action in the 100m and 200m, the latter alongside compatriot Amy Hunt, with Amber Anning, Georgia Hunter Bell, Max Burgin, Jeremiah Azu, Hannah Nuttall and Lawrence Okoye completing a strong GB contingent.
