Olympic and Wanda Diamond League champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi is set for another high-stakes clash with his biggest rivals in the men’s 800m in Oslo next month.
Kenyan star Wanyonyi will go up against Olympic silver medallist Djamel Sedjati and France’s European champion Gabriel Tual at the Bislett Games on June 12, in one of several world-class 800m head-to-heads scheduled for the 2025 Diamond League season.
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.
Tual finished third behind Sedjati and Wanyonyi at the Paris Diamond League last year, in one of the fastest 800m races in history.
The three men will be joined in Oslo by Spain’s Mohammed Attaoui and Kenya’s Aaron Kemei Cheminingwa.
