Cherop to be Uganda's sole participant at Silesia Diamond League
Kampala, Aug 15 (UNI) Uganda's Charity Cherop will be the country's sole representative at the IAAF Silesia Diamond League, scheduled for August 16 at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial in Poland. Cherop, 18, will line up in the women's 3,000m, facing a strong field that includes Kenya's three-time Olympic gold medalist Faith Kipyegon. Kipyegon has dominated the 1,500m since the 2016 Rio Olympics and last weekend set a new world record of 3:38.68 in Eugene, the United States. "I know it will not be an easy race because I will be competing against top runners who have recorded good times. But I have prepared well and I am confident of performing well," Cherop said. Athletics Uganda president Dominic Otuchet said that while Uganda has previously fielded more than two runners in Diamond League events, Cherop will be the country's sole participant this time. "Cherop has had enough time to prepare and we believe she is going to put up a good show in Poland. The race is very important for her because she has a chance to record a good time and qualify for the World Championships," Otuchet said. Cherop, who took bronze at the World U20 Championships in Peru last August, is also aiming to run a personal best and secure a berth at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo next month. So far, 22 Ugandan athletes have qualified for the Tokyo event, with Cherop yet to join that list before the qualification window closes next week. UNI/XINHUA BM

No Grand Slam Track in 2026 until athletes paid for 2025, confirms Michael Johnson
The financially troubled Grand Slam Track circuit will not take place in 2026 until athletes awaiting prize money for this year are paid, its founder Michael Johnson said on Friday. Johnson admitted in a statement that the company is struggling to compensate athletes from the three meetings that took place in 2025 in Kingston, Jamaica, Miami and Philadelphia. The four-time Olympic sprint gold medallist said he had taken the decision to cancel the fourth and final meeting in Los Angeles to avoid further losses and start the lengthy process of stabilising the company to get back on track. He added: 'The 2026 season will not happen until those obligations are met -- and that is my first priority.' Johnson launched Grand Slam as an alternative to the Diamond League series of international meetings with an important difference -- it would only feature track events and not field events.

Silesia Diamond League 2025: Duplantis teases Lyles about post-race push by Bednarek
Maybe only a track and field superstar like Mondo Duplantis could get away with such a mischievous question to Olympic 100-meter champion Noah Lyles. The pole vault world record holder wanted to know more Friday about the shove Lyles got from Kenny Bednarek after winning the 200 at United States national championships two weeks ago. 'Can I ask a question?' Duplantis said at the end of a multi-athlete news conference in Poland — alongside Lyles but not Bednarek — on the eve of the sprinters renewing their rivalry in the 100 on the Diamond League circuit. ALSO READ | When and where to watch Lyles vs Thompson Olympic 100m rematch live at Silesia Diamond League 2025? 'I want to ask Noah about, like, that stare down and that push,' Duplantis said, smiling and looking right along the line to Lyles, 'because that (expletive) was kinda crazy game.' Lyles repeated the answer he gave August 4 in Eugene, Oregon, after the post-race beef with long-time teammate Bednarek seemed to fuel a must-see track rivalry ahead of the world championships next month in Tokyo. 'As coach said: 'No comment,'' Lyles replied, to laughter in the room. Duplantis came back for more: 'Fair enough, fair enough. I enjoyed it, though, I enjoyed it.' Lyles was invited to ask his own question of Duplantis. He suggested not setting another world record Saturday so that he might win the ring awarded by meet organizers for the best performance. 'No comment, no comment,' the U.S.-born Swedish star quipped back, to more laughter. Duplantis set his 13th world record Tuesday in Hungary, raising the bar to 6.29 meters. One year ago he cleared 6.26 in Poland to add a single centimeter to the record-setting mark that won Olympic gold in Paris last August. On the track, the men's 100 shapes as the main event Saturday, though Bednarek has since said he made up with Lyles in a long conversation. It will be the first 100 between Lyles and Kishane Thompson since Paris, when the American took gold by five-thousands from the Jamaica as both were timed at 9.79 seconds. Thompson starts Saturday as the fastest man in the world this year — 9.75 set in Kingston in June. Bednarek is second on the season list at 9.79, clocked winning the U.S. national title that was skipped by Lyles, who has an automatic entry for Tokyo as the defending champion from 2023. 'You basically have the Olympic final maybe missing two people, adding in some just as fast people,' said Lyles, whose season best so far is 10 flat in London last month. 'It's going to be good, regardless.' 'Of course,' he said, 'having Kishane there makes it even better.'
