Just a few days after the conclusion of the showstopping 2023 World Athletics Championships, track and field fans are in for another treat in the form of the 2023 Zurich Diamond League.

The last leg of the Diamond League before the 2023 World Athletics Championships was held in London. After a break of more than a month, Diamond League action is back again.

The Zurich Diamond League, called the Weltklasse Zurich, will be held at the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich on August 31. A slew of stars from across the world are set to compete in the competition.

The newly crowned women's 100m World Champion, Sha'Carri Richardson, will compete in Zurich alongside Great Britain's Dina Asher-Smith and Jamaica's Elaine Thompson-Herah.

Thompson-Herah ran only the relays at the 2023 World Athletics Championships, so it will be interesting to see how she competes this time. Meanwhile, Shericka Jackson will skip the 100m and concentrate on the 200m event.

Jackson is entering the 2023 Zurich Diamond League as the world champion in the women's 200m event.

Noah Lyles, who set the World Athletics Championship on fire, will also compete in the Zurich Diamond League. He will face off against his fellow American and rising star Erriyon Knighton, Great Britain's Zharnel Hughes, Olympic champion Andre De Grasse, and Olympics runner-up Kenneth Bednarek.

USA's Yared Nuguse will compete against the newly crowned men's 1500m world champion Josh Kerr and Spain's Mohamed Katir. In the men's pole vault, two-time World Champion and Olympic Champion Armand Duplantis will both feature.

Ernest John Obiena, Sam Kendricks and Chris Nilsen will face off against Armand Duplantis.

India's star athlete Neeraj Chopra will also be in action in the javelin throw event in Zurich. He will be challenged by Czech Republic's Jakub Vadlejch and two-time world champion Anderson Peters of Grenada. Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece will also be competing in Zurich in the men's long jump.

USA's Kendra Harrison and Nia Ali will compete against world championship silver medallist Jasmine Camacho-Quinn in the women's 100m hurdles. World Champion Katie Moon and her fellow teammate Sandi Morris will compete in the women's pole vault in Zurich.
