A year after they stood together on the Olympic podium in Paris, Great Britain's Keely Hodgkinson, Ethiopia's Tsige Duguma and Kenya's Mary Moraa will resume their rivalry at the ninth Wanda Diamond League meeting in Eugene on July 5.
All three Paris medallists will be on the starting line-up in Eugene, in a race which could prove to be a dress rehearsal for both the Wanda Diamond League Final in August and the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo the following month.
Hodgkinson claimed her first ever Olympic gold medal in Paris last summer, beating Duguma (silver) and Moraa (bronze) to claim her first major championship title.
The British star is also a two-time Diamond League champion and has good memories of Eugene. She won the Diamond Trophy at Hayward Field in Eugene, and also notched up an impressive victory over Moraa at the same stadium in 2024.
It is the Kenyan, however, who goes into this season as reigning Diamond League champion, having wrested the title back from Hodgkinson with victory at last year's final in Brussels.
Duguma, meanwhile, will be hoping to pick up a first career Diamond League win as she hits athletics' biggest one-day series in 2025.
The Wanda Diamond League is the elite one-day meeting series in global 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, which will be held in Zurich on 27 and 28 August 2025.
