Two of the biggest names in track and field are set to compete in the BAUHAUS Gala on Sunday – Dalilah Muhammad and Kendra Harrison. Both have made history with world records, Olympic medals and victories on the biggest stages.
Dalilah Muhammad is one of the all-time greats in the 400m hurdles. With two Olympic gold medals to her name and a previous world record, she is a living legend in the sport. She is the third fastest woman of all time and has also won the Diamond League final not just once, but twice.
Now she is back at Stockholm Stadium for the first time since 2013, and will face some of the world’s best 400m hurdlers – including Femke Bol, who is one of only two all-time fastest runners to have run faster than Muhammad.
“I’m really excited to be back in Stockholm – it’s been 13 years since I last competed here. The crowd, the atmosphere, the stadium with all its history… it’s something really special. I can’t wait to run again and put in a really good performance,” says Muhammad.
Kendra Harrison, 100m hurdles, is ranked fourth all-time and was the world’s fastest woman at the distance all-time until 2022. Harrison also has an Olympic silver medal from Tokyo 2021, two World Cup medals and a Diamond League final victory under her belt.
Harrison has good experience from the BAUHAUS gala – she has won here twice. The last time was in 2019.
“Stockholm has always been a fantastic place for me – I’ve won here twice and the energy of the crowd is incredible. I’m really looking forward to coming back and chasing another fast time,” says Harrison.
