Olympic champions Mo Farah and Greg Rutherford are among 21 world champions set to compete in the Birmingham Diamond League meeting on Sunday.
Farah takes part in the 3,000m while Rutherford competes against a high-quality long jump field.
In the women's 100m, British record-holder Dina Asher-Smith takes on world 200m champion Dafne Schippers.
Adam Gemili, who ran his first sub-10 second 100m here last year, faces fellow Brits CJ Ujah and Richard Kilty.
Why does it matter?
The sixth leg of the global Diamond League series, the event at the Alexander Stadium is a key competition in the build-up to the Olympics in August.
Diamond Race points will be up for grabs and athletes will be looking to secure qualifying standards for Rio. tomado de :http://www.bbc.com/sport/athletics/36405540
