Olympic champions Letsile Tebogo and Tara Davis-Woodhall will both be out to add a first Diamond Trophy to their mantlepiece when they line up at the Wanda Diamond League Final in Zurich on August 27-28.
Botswanan sprinter Tebogo and US long jumper Davis-Woodhall are both eyeing a first career Diamond League title in 2025, having stormed to gold medals in the men’s 200m and women’s long jump at Paris 2024 last year.
Davis-Woodhall will make her first ever appearance at a Diamond League Final in Zurich, having notched up three victories on the circuit in the past two seasons.
Both Tebogo and Davis-Woodhall are among a host of athletes who secured qualification to the final early on and have now confirmed their attendance at this year’s Weltklasse Zurich.
They will be joined in Switzerland by 400m hurdles world record holder Karsten Warholm, who is aiming to win the Diamond Trophy for the first time since 2021.
Davis-Woodhall, meanwhile, faces a tough field which includes 2021 Olympic champion Malaika Mihambo of Germany and fellow American and current world indoor champion Claire Bryant.
