London Athletics Meet Sets Stage for Final Olympic Preparations

Posted : 19 July 2024

With the Paris 2024 Olympics just around the corner, top athletes from around the globe have descended on London to finalize their preparations. The London Athletics Meet, the last Diamond League event before the Games, offers a final opportunity for medal hopefuls to sharpen their performances ahead of their Olympic bids. The event at London Stadium, which attracted a full house of 50,000 spectators last year, will feature several British contenders such as Keely Hodgkinson, Matthew Hudson-Smith, Molly Caudery, and Katarina Johnson-Thompson.

 

Among the international stars competing are Noah Lyles and Femke Bol, who will showcase their talents before heading to Paris, where the athletics events will commence on August 1. 

 

The men's 100m race promises to be a highlight of the day, featuring a thrilling finale. World champion Noah Lyles returns after impressive victories over Letsile Tebogo and Great Britain's Zharnel Hughes in the 200m last year, and again in the 100m world final. Hughes, who earned his first global medal with a bronze, will compete alongside British 100m champion Louie Hinchliffe and fellow Brit Jeremiah Azu. Hinchliffe’s rise, under the mentorship of Carl Lewis, has been remarkable, culminating in his recent Olympic qualification.

 

The women's 200m event will also be a must-watch, with British stars Dina Asher-Smith, Daryll Neita, and Amy Hunt competing before a home crowd. Asher-Smith, the European 100m champion, and Neita, a 200m silver medallist, will be testing their mettle against American world 200m silver medallist Gabrielle Thomas, St Lucia's Julien Alfred, and Ireland’s Rhasidat Adeleke. Additionally, British teams will compete in the men's and women's 4x100m relay events, adding to the excitement of the day.
