Beatrice Chebet and Emmanuel Wanyonyi are among six Olympic champions who will grace the Rabat Diamond League series on Sunday, May 25, 2025.

Letsile Tebogo, Wanyonyi, Chebet, Quincy Hall, Soufiane El Bakkali, and Hamish Kerr will be going for Diamond League glory after shining in Paris nine months ago.

Tebogo will attempt a double in Rabat as he is first set to compete in the 100m, where he’ll face world indoor bronze medallist Akani Simbine, 2022 world champion Fred Kerley, and African record-holder Ferdinand Omanyala.

The Botswana’s world athlete of the year will then be back on track for the 200m, where he’ll face two-time world medallist Erriyon Knighton and world 400m record-holder Wayde van Niekerk.

Meanwhile, the men’s 800m field is similarly loaded with Wanyonyi taking on Botswana’s Tshepiso Masalela, the winner in Doha last week; his compatriot Kethobogile Haingura; two-time Commonwealth champion Wyclife Kinyamal; and Olympic finalist Max Burgin.

Following on from her 5000m win in Xiamen last month, Chebet will be challenged by Ejgayehu Taye, who won over 3000m and 5000m at the Grand Slam meeting in Kingston last month. Lemlem Hailu, Olympic silver medallist Nadia Battocletti, and Oceanian record-holder Georgia Griffith will be the other contestants.

In the men’s steeplechase, home star Soufiane El Bakkali will be in action. The world and Olympic champion has won at this meeting for the past three years, and it’s where he set his lifetime best of 7:56.68.

The Moroccan will be up against Samuel Firewu, who beat El Bakkali in Xiamen, and Abrham Sime, winner at the following Diamond League meeting in Keqiao. Olympic bronze medallist Abraham Kibiwot and rising Kenyan star Edmund Serem add further quality to the field.
