Sprinting rivalry resumed as Jamaican pair take to track over 100m for 2022 showdown in Zürich

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will take on Shericka Jackson in what will be the fourth encounter between the two over 100m this season.

It’s currently 2-1 to Fraser-Pryce after victories at the World Championships and the Monaco Diamond League, while Jackson – who will also compete in the 200m in Zürich – edged out the five-time world 100m champion in Brussels last week.

Five-time Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah won’t compete but the field also includes Aleia Hobbs, Sha’Carri Richardson, Daryll Neita, Marie-Josée Ta Lou and Mujinga Kambundji to name just a few.

All 32 Wanda Diamond League champions will be crowned this week, with six finals taking place at a city centre event in Zürich’s Sechseläutenplatz on Wednesday evening (September 7) before the remaining 26 complete the programme at the Letzigrund Stadium on Thursday (September 8).

Numerous Olympic and world champions are aiming to secure the last major honours of what has been an exceptionally busy summer season.

Remarkably Jake Wightman, Laura Muir, Keely Hodgkinson and Matthew Hudson-Smith – medallists in Eugene, Birmingham and Munich – are in action yet again and all should be in the thick of a battle for the Diamond League titles.

Other major global stars include Noah Lyles, Tobi Amusan, Mondo Duplantis, Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Yaroslava Mahuchikh.

While a number of these clashes can be comparable to the standard on show at the World Championships in Eugene, the competition in Switzerland is not as strong with a few athletes ending their season early or focusing on non-Diamond League events. There are also just six competitors in most of the field events.
