Olympic silver medallist Karsten Warholm will be hoping to bounce back from Olympic disapppointment when he resumes his Wanda Diamond League campaign in Silesia next week.
400m hurdles world record holder Warholm will take on Kyron McMaster and Rasmus Mägi at the Silesia leg of the series on August 25th, just two weeks after his defeat to US rival Rai Benjamin at the Olympics in Paris.
Series champion in 2019 and 2021, the Norwegian is still searching for his first Diamond League win of 2024, after suffering defeat to Alison Dos Santos in Oslo and Benjamin in Monaco earlier this season.
Silesia is a chance to secure his place in this year's final, as he lines up alongside several other superstar medallists from the Paris Games.
400m gold medallist Marileidy Paulino will be out to claim her fifth Diamond League win of the season when she takes on Rhasidat Adeleke and Poland's Natalia Kaczmarek in Silesia.
5000m gold medallist Jakob Ingebrigtsen will start in the 3000m, while pole vault star Mondo Duplantis returns to Diamond League action after his world record of 6.25m in Paris.
The men's high jump sees a clash between former Olympic champions Gianmarco Tamberi and Mutaz Essa Barshim, and Olympic champion Ryan Crouser is set to lock horns with Diamond League champion Joe Kovacs in the men's shot put.
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.
