As athletics greats converge for the penultimate Diamond League meet in Zurich, Switzerland, this evening, the final leg of the circuit set for Brussels, Belgium next week remains the main focus.
But before then, athletics stars are set to settle debates just days before the 2026 track and field season climaxes with World Athletics Ultimate Championships from September 11-13.
A number of global sensations including Kenyan stars such as 3000m steeplechasers, world champion and Olympic bronze medallist Faith Cherotich and Edmund Serem have already qualified for the two-day final showdown in Brussels on September 4-5, but a few stars will be chasing their places in the final.
Cherotich and Olympic 800m champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi are major highlights in tonight's show.
While athletes are competing in the penultimate meet, others are reserving their gas for the Brussels weekend action.
