STAMFORD, Conn. – April 18, 2024 – 100m world champions Sha’Carri Richardson, Fred Kerley, and Christian Coleman headline NBC Sports’ live coverage of the Diamond League season opener from Xiamen Egret Stadium in Xiamen, China, this Saturday, April 20, at 7 a.m. ET on Peacock.
Richardson headlines the 200m field in what will be her 2024 outdoor debut after a breakout 2023 season that saw her capture three medals at her first-ever World Championships (1st – 100m, 1st – 4x100m gold, 3rd – 200m bronze). Richardson, aiming to make her first Olympic team this summer, will line up against her fellow gold medal-winning 4x100m relay teammates, Tamara Clark and Twanisha Terry.
Coleman, the 2019 100m world champion and reigning 60m indoor world champion, and Kerley, the 2022 100m world champion, headline a competitive 100m field that also includes compatriot and Tokyo Olympian Ronnie Baker, four-time Olympic medalist Yohan Blake (Jamaica), and 2023 world 4x100m relay bronze medalist Ackeem Blake (Jamaica). In their careers, Kerley is 3-1 against Coleman in the 100m; their most recent showdown was at last year’s Xiamen Diamond League, where Coleman edged Kerley, 9.83 to 9.96.
Xiamen will feature a world-class field, with multiple reigning Olympic champions expected to compete this weekend: Valarie Allman (United States, discus), Mondo Duplantis (Sweden, pole vault), Peruth Chemutai (Uganda, steeplechase), Jasmine Camacho-Quinn (Puerto Rico, 100m hurdles), Mutaz Barsham (Qatar, high jump), Pedro Pichardo (Portugal, triple jump), Hansle Parchment (Jamaica, 110m hurdles), and Gong Lijiao (shot put), competing in front of her home crowd.
Additionally, the U.S. will be represented by two-time world pole vault champion and Rio Olympic bronze medalist Sam Kendricks, 2016 Rio Olympic 800m bronze medalist Clayton Murphy, reigning world 110m hurdles bronze medalist Daniel Roberts, Tokyo Olympic pole vault silver medalist Chris Nilsen, North American 400m indoor world record holder Britton Wilson, and more.
NBC Sports’ Paul Swangard will call the event, joined by four-time Olympic medalist Ato Boldon and 2012 London Olympic decathlon silver medalist Trey Hardee.
