Reigning Diamond League champions Elaine Thompson-Herah, Francine Niyonsaba and Daniel St\u00e5hl are among the world class athletes set to battle it out for more valuable points at the fourth meeting of the season in Rabat this Sunday. <\/p>\n
Niyonsaba became the first athlete from Burundi to win the Diamond Trophy with victory in the women’s 5000m last season, after twice breaking the national record on her Road to the Final. <\/p>\n
She returns to Diamond League action this weekend, looking to get early points on the board in her bid to qualify for this year’s season finale in Zurich. <\/p>\n
She will be joined on the track by fellow Diamond Trophy holder Elaine Thompson-Herah, who picked up her first Diamond League win of the season in Eugene last weekend. <\/p>\n
The men’s discus also features the reigning series champion, as Sweden’s Daniel St\u00e5hl looks to get his first win on the board after a clean sweep of four victories in four appearances on his way to the title in 2021. <\/p>\n
St\u00e5hl will face stiff competition from Czech rival Kristjan \u010ceh, who broke the Diamond League record with a superb 71.27m effort in Birmingham last month. <\/p>\n
Other stars set to compete in Rabat include Jamaican triple jumper Shanieka Ricketts, Ukrainian high jumper Yaroslava Mahuchikh and Norwegian hurdles superstar Karsten Warholm. <\/p>\n
