And, of course, <strong>Jasmine Camacho-Quinn<\/strong>, who set a new meeting record of 12.34 last year in Lausanne. The reigning European champion in the 60m hurdles, Finland&#8217;s <strong>Reeta Hurske<\/strong>, will also be present.<\/p>\n<p>In the 800m, a showdown is shaping up between the Briton <strong>Keely Hodgkinson<\/strong> and the Kenyan <strong>Mary Moraa<\/strong>. Hodgkinson is European champion and silver medallist at the last Worlds and the 2021 Olympics. Moraa is the up-and-coming athlete: she won the Wanda Diamond League final last summer in Zurich and has just set a superb time of 50&#8221;44 over 400m in Botswana.<\/p>\n<p>Facing them, the Swiss <strong>Audrey Werro<\/strong> and <strong>Lore Hoffmann<\/strong> will want to shine in front of their public. Werro is the junior world vice-champion and has already successfully negotiated her way to the elite. Hoffmann came close to the European podium last year in Munich.<\/p>\n<h3>High Jump in the City Centre<\/h3>\n<p>For the first time, the City Event will be a &#8220;Diamond League&#8221; event. It will be the women&#8217;s high jump organised at the Place Centrale, in the city centre, on Thursday 29 June, the evening before the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>This event will bring together three giants of the discipline: the Ukrainian <strong>Yaroslava Mahuchikh<\/strong>, indoor world champion and outdoor world vice-champion (personal record at 2m06), the Australian <strong>Nicola Olyslagers<\/strong> (n\u00e9e McDermott), Olympic vice-champion, and the charismatic Belgian <strong>Nafissatou Thiam<\/strong>. The latter is double Olympic champion and double world champion in the heptathlon and can match the best specialists in height, her personal best is 2m02.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dozen additional female stars have confirmed their participation in Athletissima taking place...","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-2360","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lausanne"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lausanne.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2360","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lausanne.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lausanne.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lausanne.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2360"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lausanne.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2360\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lausanne.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lausanne.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2360"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lausanne.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2360"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lausanne.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2360"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lausanne.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=2360"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
