Tara Davis-Woodhall and Winfred Yavi will join five other freshly crowned Olympic champions at the 13th Wanda Diamond League meeting of the season in Rome on August 30th.
US star Davis-Woodhall jumped 7.10m to claim gold in the women's long jump last week, and will be hoping to pick up her first ever Diamond League win when she heads to the Stadio Olimpico later this month.
Bahrain's Yavi also delivered one of the performances of the Games, running an Olympic record of 8:52.76 to win the women's 3000m steeplechase. Having secured her first ever Olympic gold, the 24-year-old will now be hoping to defend the Diamond League title she won last season.
Five other Olympic champions are already confirmed to compete at the Pietro Mennea Golden Gala.
Botswana's Letsile Tebogo will run the 100m after his triumph in the men's 200m in Paris, while the USA's Quincy Hall will be hoping to build on his dramatic, last-gasp Olympic victory in the 400m.
Australia's Nina Kennedy snatched Olympic gold for the first time in her career in the women's pole vault, and now has her sights set on regaining the Diamond Trophy she lost to US rival Katie Moon last season.
New Zealand high jumper Hamish Kerr already has three Diamond League wins in 2024, and is now firm favourite to win the Diamond Trophy after his triumph in Paris.
The USA's Masai Russell, meanwhile, will be hoping for her first Diamond League win when she takes to the blocks in the women's 100m hurdles.
The Wanda Diamond League is the premier one-day meeting series in athletics. It comprises 15 of the most prestigious events in global track and field. Athletes compete for points at the 14 series meetings in a bid to qualify for the two-day Wanda Diamond League Final in Brussels on 13th-14th September.
