Here's what you need to know about the 2025 London Diamond League
LONDON: The 2025 London Diamond League is set to happen at the iconic London Stadium on July 19, with 60,000 fans expected to fill Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for the sold-out Novuna London Athletics Meet.
This event features many top athletes, including Olympic champions and world record holders. After exciting events in Oregon and Monaco, the London meet is expected to be even more action-packed, filled with more thrilling athletic moments. Athletes to compete
Noah Lyles, the Olympic 100m champion, headlines the men's sprint race in London. He will compete against Botswana's Letsile Tebogo, who won gold in the 200m at the Olympics. Previously, Lyles beat Tebogo in the 200m race in Monaco and aims to win the London 100m too. Lyles finished strong at the race with a time of 19.88 seconds, defeating Tebogo, who placed second with a time of 19.97 seconds.
Jamaica's Oblique Seville, the only sprinter to defeat Lyles in a 100m final since 2023, is another top contender. There are local British sprinters as well, such as Jeremiah Azu and Zharnel Hughes, who will try their best and bring home the title.
Moreover, in the women's 200m, Julien Alfred, Olympic 100m champion and world number two, has been a tough contender this season. Brittany Brown from the USA and Britain's Dina Asher-Smith will also participate. For hurdles, Dutch athlete Femke Bol set a world-leading time in the 400m in Monaco and aims to do better in London.
In the men's 800m, Kenya's Emmanuel Wanyonyi also set the world's best time in Monaco and wants to repeat his strong performance. The 2019 world champion, American Donavan Brazier, will run his first big 800m race since returning from injury. In the women's 800m, Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson will make a comeback, and Britain's Georgia Bell and Jemma Reekie will try to win in front of their home fans.
The men's 1500m should be exciting. Olympic silver medallist Josh Kerr will return for the men's 1500m, and he will face tough rivals like Kenya's Phanuel Koech, British star George Mills, and 2022 world champion Jake Wightman.
In other field events, Olympic champions like long jumper Miltiadis Tentoglou, discus thrower Roje Stona, and high jumper Yaroslava Mahuchikh will also be part of the event. In the pole vault, British athlete Molly Caudery will try to win in her hometown, but will face strong competition from American Katie Moon.

Jessica Hull finishes second despite breaking her own Australian mile record at the London Diamond League
Photo: LONDON, UK: Jessica Hull recently broke her own Australian and Oceanian records in the mile but finished second at the Diamond League meet in London. The athlete, who won a silver medal in the Olympic mile, was hopeful when Gudaf Tsegay ran very fast at the start, but when Hull got close, Tsegay sped up even more and won the race easily, setting a new national record with a time of 4 minutes 11.88 seconds. Hull admitted, 'I had a lot of distractions, but was just trying to zone into the leader in the second half, but it was a solid run.' Although she finished second, Hull found consolation in lowering her own Oceanian mile record to 4:13.68. The athlete added, 'Coming in, we were thinking I could run a national record, and I did. I would have liked to have been a little closer to 4:10, but I felt very strong for 4:13… A lot of records fell today, so it was a pretty special to be a part of that race.' In front of 60,000 spectators, she and high jumper Eleanor Patterson both took second place, while Rose Davies, who also set new national and Oceanian records in the 5000 m, placed third. Despite not gaining the top spot, it was a strong and memorable event for Australian athletes. On social media, netizens expressed their support for Hull: 'So stoked for her. She gives it her all and is a great competitor', 'Absolutely brilliant!!', 'She shows up every single race', and 'Brilliant! Amazing! Incredible! 🏃🏼♀️👏🏻😀.' Tournament highlights Davies finished third with a time of 14:31.45, just behind two Ethiopian runners, Medina Eisa, who finished with a time of 14:30.57, and Fantaye Belayneh, who had a time of 14:30.90. Her time was more than nine seconds faster than her old national record of 14:40.83, which she set in China last April. With this, Davies expressed: 'I was ready for a big race and felt like I responded to the challenge today… My expectations were a PB (personal best), and I have achieved that, so I am really pleased.' Moreover, Georgia Griffith came fifth with a new personal best of 14:32.82, also beating the old record. Former world champion Patterson was also surprised that her 1.93-metre jump was enough to win silver. British athlete Morgan Lake took first place with a jump of 1.96 metres. Olympic 100m champion Julien Alfred broke her own record for St. Lucia by running the fastest 200m time in the world this year—21.71 seconds. Australian runner Torrie Lewis wasn't able to keep up and finished last with a time of 23.05 seconds.
