Commonwealth Games' 800m champion Wycliffe Kinyamal faces a stern test at the Diamond League meeting in Gateshead, England on Tuesday. This being the final Diamond League before the Tokyo Olympics, Kinyamal will be hoping to lay a marker ahead of the extravaganza in the Far East later this month. Kinyamal will be up against the American trio of Clayton Murphy, Bryce Hoppel and Isaiah Harris. Michael Kibet spearheads a three-pronged Kenyan attack in the men's 3,000m alongside Vincent Kibet and Jacob Krop . Hasan had been scheduled to run the mile, in which she holds the world record of 4:12.33.
