Both Sweden&#8217;s world record holder in pole vault, Mondo Duplantis, and Norway&#8217;s world record holder in the 400 metre hurdles, Karsten Warholm, are in this year&#8217;s edition.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"BrdtextA\"><em><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:black\"><span style=\"border:none; font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Now the organizer announces that two more world record holders, both in sprint, will come to the <\/span><span style=\"border:none; font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Stockholm<\/span><span style=\"border:none; font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\"> on July 2.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"border:none; font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\">One is last year&#8217;s big surprise in the 100-meter hurdles at the World Championships in Eugene, Tobi Amusan. She set a world record of 12.12 already in the semi-finals at the World Championships in Eugene last year. In the final, she ran even faster but with a little too much wind. Amusan has won the Diamond League title for the past two years. The stadium record of 12.38, set by Ameri-President Brianna McNeal in 2018, is likely to be loose.<span style=\"color:black\"> It is also clear that the Finnish European indoor champion, Reeta Hurske, will start in the 100 meter hurdles. Hurske showed superb form throughout the indoor season where she ran as fast as 7.79 in the 60-meter hurdles. Just 11 hundredths off Susanna Kallur&#8217;s indoor world record. Hurske has opened the outdoor season well and ran in 12.70. But the feeling is that she will cut a lot at that time this summer. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"BrdtextA\"><em><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:black\"><span style=\"border:none; font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\">The other is the world record holder who <\/span><span style=\"border:none; font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\">are ready for<\/span><span style=\"border:none; font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\" lang=\"EN-GB\"> Stockholm on July 2 is South African Wayde van Niekerk who showed good form at the beginning of the season.
