The Brussels Diamond League will have 82 Olympic medallists competing, headlined by Sha'Carri Richardson, Letsile Tebogo, and Julien Alfred.

With the last major track meet of the 2024 season set for September 13 and 14 at the Brussels Diamond League, Sha'Carri Richardson, Letsile Tebogo, and Julien Alfred are among the headliners of 82 medallists confirmed for the star-studded meet.

Richardson and Alfred will rekindle their rivalry in the women's 100m event, where both speedsters will be gunning for a final season-ending win to close off an outstanding year.

St. Lucian star Alfred, defeated the American for the Olympic 100m title in Paris, which Richardson will later get her revenge in their first race post-Olympics at the Zurich Diamond League last week.

The winner of this star-studded race will earn the bragging rights and confidence ahead of an expectant 2025 season.

In the men's 200m event, Tebogo and Kenny Bednarek have another match to test their mettle against each other following the Olympic 200m final, where the Motswana was victorious in a new African Record of 19.46s.

With their final clash of the season set for Brussels, fans can anticipate a mouthwatering race, in which the eventual winner will be well deserving of the Diamond League title.

Another exciting battle to watch out for is the men's 800m event where Olympic medallists Emmanuel Wanyonyi, Marco Arop, and Djamel Sedjati will race each other again in the final major showdown of the year.
