Both have made history with world records, Olympic medals and victories on the biggest stages.<br\/>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.   <\/p>\n\n<p>Now she is back at Stockholm Stadium for the first time since 2013, and will face some of the world&#8217;s best 400m hurdlers &#8211; including Femke Bol, who is one of only two all-time fastest runners to have run faster than Muhammad.<\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m really excited to be back in Stockholm \u2013 it&#8217;s been 13 years since I last competed here. The crowd, the atmosphere, the stadium with all its history\u2026 it&#8217;s something really special. I can&#8217;t wait to run again and put in a really good performance,&#8221; says Muhammad.<\/p>\n\n<p>Kendra Harrison, 100m hurdles, is ranked fourth all-time and was the world&#8217;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. <\/p>\n\n<p>Harrison has good experience from the BAUHAUS gala \u2013 she has won here twice. The last time was in 2019. <\/p>\n\n<p>&#8220;Stockholm has always been a fantastic place for me \u2013 I&#8217;ve won here twice and the energy of the crowd is incredible. I&#8217;m really looking forward to coming back and chasing another fast time,&#8221; says Harrison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two of the biggest names in track and field are set to compete in the BAUHAUS Gala on Sunday...","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":2724,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"city":[],"class_list":["post-2726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-stockholm-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/75"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2726"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2726\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2727,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2726\/revisions\/2727"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2724"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2726"},{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockholm.diamondleague.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=2726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
