World record-holder in the women’s 100m hurdles, Tobi Amusan and Nigerian shot putter Chukwuebuka Enekwechi will miss the seventh leg of the 2025 Diamond League in Stockholm.

Amusan who secured a win in her event during the fourth meeting in Rabat, Morocco, is not listed among the athletes set to compete in Stockholm.

The event, which will be held at the Stockholm Olympic Stadium, will see an array of stars compete on both track and field disciplines as they continue preparations ahead of the World Athletics Championships set to be held in Tokyo, Japan in September.

Most of the activities will take place on June 15 but the men’s challenger and women’s pole vault competitions will be conducted a day earlier, on June 14.

Among the star-studded cast of athletes set to feature in Stockholm is reigning Olympic women’s 100m champion Julien Alfred of St Lucia. The 24-year-old is making the second of two stops on the Scandinavian legs of the Diamond League, having confirmed her season debut in the Bislett Games in Oslo, Norway few days prior.

Alfred, who is the odds-on favourite, will go head-to-head against British pair Dina-Asher Smith and Daryll Neita, African legend Marie-Josee Ta Lou-Smith of the Ivory Coast, Italian double European medallist Zaynab Dosso, and homegirl Julia Henriksson.

Despite Amusan’s absence, the women’s 100m hurdles event is littered with elite athletes. Top performer, Grace Stark of the United States, will take on Ackera Nugent of Jamaica, Nadine Visser of the Netherlands, and Pia Skrzyszowska of Poland.

There’s also room for Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas, as well as American duo Kendra Harrison and Alaysha Johnson. The long jump event will see the trio of Serbia’s Ivana Spanovic, Tara Davis-Woodhall of the USA and Germany’s Malaika Mihambo do battle on the sand.

The three fastest 400m hurdlers in history, Karsten Warholm of Norway, America’s Rai Benjamin and Alison Dos Santos of Brazil, will resume their rivalry in the discipline after clashing in the Bislett Games in Oslo.

Sweden’s pole vault world record holder, Mondo Duplantis, will also be in action. At the same time, Dutch 400m hurdles queen Femke Bol is hoping to win in Stockholm for the fifth time in six years. Still, she will contend with former record holder Dalilah Muhammad of the USA, Italy’s Ayomide Folorunso and another American in the mould of Anna Hall.
