Coleman, Norman, Crouser and much more
STANFORD (USA): The 45th edition of Prefontaine Classic (part of IAAF Diamond League) at a special venue in California (due to renovation works at Hayward Field in Eugene) is promising again special one day of superb athletics.

All special headlines for itself, here they are only one of many.

European 5000m champion Sifan Hassan and Germany’s Konstanze Klosterhalfen are also part of a loaded field.

3000m steeplechase – World record-holder Beatrice Chepkoech leads the field but she was beaten by Kenyan teammate Norah Jeruto in Oslo earlier this month. World champion Emma Coburn and world silver medallist Courtney Frerichs will also be in contention along with former world champion Hyvin Kiyeng from Kenya.
