Duplantis is among a handful of track and field superstars opening their season outdoors. The Swede finished his indoor campaign with a new pole vault record by clearing 6.22m to win the 2023 All Star Perche event in Clermont-Ferrand, France last February.
Richardson has been in exceptional form this season, posting a time of 10.76 seconds in the 100m as he took victory at the Diamond League event in Doha. He followed it up with a win in the 200m at the Kip Keino Classic in Nairobi.
The American sprinter will face stiff competition from compatriot Aleia Hobbs, Marie-Josee Ta Lou from Ivory Coast and Jamaica’s 4×100 Olympic champion Briana Williams.
Joining the lineup of world record holders is Ryan Crouser, who is looking to build on his season as he prepares for his world title defense in Budapest this August.
In the 200m race, Knighton will compete against Kenneth Bednarek, while the 100m will feature Christian Coleman and Ronnie Baker on the start list.
The women’s 100m hurdles will feature reigning world champion Tobi Amusan and Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn.
