Olympic and Wanda Diamond League champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi will face his rival and fellow Paris 2024 medallist Djamel Sedjati in a star-studded men’s 800m in Stockholm on June 15.
Kenyan star Wanyonyi won his second successive Diamond League title last season, just weeks after claiming Olympic gold in Paris.
His title-winning campaign included several world-class clashes with Sedjati, who racked up three Diamond League wins before claiming bronze at the Olympics.
The two African aces will be joined in Stockholm by French star Gabriel Tual, who finished third behind Sedjati and Wanyonyi at the Paris Diamond League last year, in one of the fastest 800m races in history.
The Wanda Diamond League is the elite one-day meeting series in global athletics. It comprises 15 of the most prestigious events in global track and field. Athletes compete for points at the 14 series meetings in a bid to qualify for the two-day Wanda Diamond League Final, which will be held in Zurich on 27 and 28 August 2025.
