LONDON — Olympic champions Keely Hodgkinson and Josh Kerr and reigning 100m world champion Julien Alfred headline a star-studded field for the Novuna London Athletics Meet at the London Stadium on Saturday 18 July, World Athletics reported on 15 July.
The Wanda Diamond League meeting announced Red Bull as its official energy drink partner on Thursday, organisers said, with event director Cherry Alexander describing the lineup as "the best athletes in the world." The meet is scheduled for 18 July at the London Stadium, according to the Diamond League's official site.
Kerr, Britain's 1500m Olympic champion, is set to attempt a mile world record of 3:42, FloTrack reported on 13 July. Hodgkinson, the Olympic 800m champion, and Alfred, the sprint world champion, are among the headline names confirmed by World Athletics.
The London stop is the latest leg of the 2026 Wanda Diamond League, athletics' premier one-day circuit, building toward the season-ending championship. No results are available because the competition has not yet taken place.
