Reigning Diamond League champion Jimmy Gressier will head to Monaco as part of his series title defence on July 10.
Gressier will headline the men’s 5000m at Meeting Herculis EBS, as he looks to build on what proved to be a breakthrough Diamond League season in 2025.
The Frenchman won the 3000m/5000m Diamond League title in Zurich last September with a stunning victory over three kilometres, becoming only the fourth European to do so after Mo Farah, Sifan Hassan and Jakob Ingebrigtsen.
It was one of several superb Diamond League performances in 2025, with Gressier also setting a new French record of 12:51.59 in Paris earlier in the season.
The title win also proved to be a sign of things to come, as the 29-year-old went on to win 5000m bronze and 10,000m gold at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo a few weeks later.
Gressier now heads into the 2026 season as world number one in the men’s 5000m, and will be hoping to make another statement on his third appearance at Herculis.
Monaco is the tenth leg of the 2026 Wanda Diamond League, which begins in Shanghai/Keqiao on May 16 and ends at the two-day series final in Brussels on September 4-5.
The series unites the biggest names in track and field in some of the world’s most iconic arenas, crossing four continents and 15 cities over the course of the season.
