Lyles and other athletics heavyweights listed for the Monaco Diamond League

World champions Noah Lyles and Karsten Warholm are among the track and field superstars set to compete at the ninth Wanda Diamond League meeting of the season at Herculis EBS Monaco later this month.

The entry lists for the ninth Wanda Diamond League meeting of the season in Monaco have now been published, with the world's best athletes looking to hit their best form in the run-up to the Olympic Games in Paris.

Herculis EBS Monaco, which will take place on July 12th, will once again welcome some of the sport's biggest names to the Stade Louis II in 2024.

World champion and five-time Diamond Trophy winner Lyles is hoping to pick up his first Diamond League win of the season in the men's 200m, while Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith faces off against Ivorian legend Marie-Josée Ta Lou in the women's 100m.

Norwegian stars Karsten Warholm (400m hurdles) and Jakob Ingebrigtsen (1500m) will also be in action, while joint world champions Katie Moon and Nina Kennedy resume their rivalry in the pole vault.

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.
