1. Big clash for javelin trio<\/h3>\n

The women’s javelin is one of the closest Diamond Races this season, with Madara Palameika leading the line with a seven-point advantage over Sunette Viljoen and Kathryn Mitchell in joint second. All three women go head-to-head in Lausanne, with Diamond Trophy holder Barabara Spotakova also in the field. Only victory for Palameika can stop this Diamond Race from blowing wide open just before the final. <\/p>\n

2. Last chance for Barshim?<\/h3>\n

Four of the top five in the men’s high jump Diamond Race go head to head in Lausanne this evening. Second placed Erik Kynard will be looking to close the gap on Bogdan Bondarenko, while Robbie Grabarz and Mutaz Essa Barshim try to keep the pace. For Diamond Trophy holder Barshim, who sits in fifth, points in Lausanne are crucial as he attempts to defend his title. <\/p>\n
