With under three months remaining until Worlds in Tokyo, it's becoming do-or-die time for professional track and field. Can superstar Grant Holloway show signs of life after a rocky start to the season? Will Yaroslava Mahuchikh break the high jump world record she set at the same meet one year ago? Those questions and more will be decided at the 2025 Paris Diamond League.

You can enter the Wanda Fantasy Diamond League contest for Paris by 1:50 PM U.S. Eastern Time on Friday to compete against other predictors and see who knows best.

Men's 3000m steeplechase [Non-Diamond] (2:08pm ET): Girma returns from brutal concussion

The men's 3000m steeplechase isn't an official Diamond League event, but it's worth following as steeplechase world-record holder Lamecha Girma of Ethiopia will return to racing following a tragic fall and ensuing concussion that took him out of the Olympic final in this city last year with just 200m remaining in his race and Olympic gold in his sights.

Girma's 7:52.11 lives on, and he'll face some challenging competition in countrymen Abrham Sime and Getnet Wale. His brother Kuma Girma has been having a breakout year on the Diamond League 5000m circuit in Lamecha's absence, and fans will be glad to see progress in his recovery no matter his performance in Paris. Moroccan Olympic steeple champ Soufiane el Bakkali will be running the 5K in Paris, which is a Diamond-class event.

Men's triple jump (1:50pm ET): World Indoor champ Diaz Hernandez makes DL season debut

With Spain's Olympic champ Jordan Alejandro Díaz yet to jump in 2025, another global champ Díaz -- this time Andy Díaz Hernandez of Italy, who won World Indoors in March -- is set to make his Diamond League debut this year in Paris and depending on how it goes could end up the favorite going into Tokyo. His biggest push could come from Hugues Fabrice Zango (BUR), who won Olympic bronze and has the best PB in the field. But Zango hasn't notched a win yet this year while Díaz Hernandez is coming off a solid 17.04m win in Roverto. 

American Donald Scott was 3rd in Xiamen and would do well to podium, while three Frenchmen -- Thomas Gogois, Melvin Raffin, and Jonathan Seremes -- will perform for the home crowd. Seremes may be familiar as this year's NCAA indoor champ for Missouri, but Gogois has the best PB of the three as last year's European bronze medalist. Raffin was this year's French indoor national champ at 17.05m. 

Women's pole vault (2:05pm ET): Can anyone challenge Moon like Bruni did in Doha?

Katie Moon is having a stellar 2025 season following her '21 Olympic gold and '24 silver. She's gone undefeated in all but one meet this year, when she tied for 2nd with Roberta Bruni (ITA) in Doha. A rebound win in Rabat showed that her favorite status shouldn't be questioned, though Bruni returns in Paris to challenge.

Moon will have a lot of national support as '16 Olympic runner-up Sandi Morris and this year's World Indoor Champs teammates Gabriela Leon and Emily Grove will fill the field. There, Leon's 5th-place finish dwarfed Grove's 9th despite Grove's better PB. Margot Chevrier and Marie-Julie Bonnin represent the host nation -- Bonnin is a serious win threat given her World Indoors gold medal, but she'll likely need a new PB to do it. Chevrier is a multiple-time national champ for France, most recently last year indoors.

Women's discus throw (2:10pm ET): Allman could be putting together a low-key athlete-of-the-year contending season

If we told you one athlete in Paris is coming off a 25-time win-streak, would you be able to say who it is? Olympic champ Valarie Allman has won all eight of her competitions this year, and in fact hasn't lost all 25 of her throws since Laulauga Tausaga's upset win at 2023 Worlds according to Tilastopaja. Combine that with the fact that she put down a top-10 all-time mark earlier this year, and Allman could be putting together a season for the ages.

Her American rival Tausaga will be here in Paris to attempt to snap that streak. '21 bronze medalist Yaimé Pérez of Cuba was runner-up behind Allman most recently in Rome, while Feng Bin of China won the Paris Olympic silver medal behind Allman as both will contend for runner-up honors. France sends Mélina Robert-Michon (Rio Olympic silver) and Amanda Ngandu-Ntumba, who is an eight-time national champ in the shot put but has achieved more international success in the discus.

Men's 110m hurdles (3:43pm ET): The alarm bells are ringing for Holloway

These are the outdoor results of last year's Olympic gold medalist Grant Holloway so far in 2025: 1st (Gainesville), 2nd (Gainesville), 10th (Xiamen), DNS (Shanghai), DNS (Atlanta City). Those last three, including two withdrawals due to injury following a Xiamen last-place, have got to hurt his chances going into Worlds. But with three months to go he can still turn it all around with a win in Paris, which he'll attempt to do in the the semi-finals and finals (the two-round format is unique to the Paris DL) on Friday.

Top competition will come from fellow Americans Freddie Crittenden, Trey Cunningham, and Jamal Britt. Crittenden was the only one of them to make the Paris Olympic team with Holloway, but Britt may be on the verge of a breakout season following his win at the final Grand Slam in Philly (both in the hurdles and the series). Cunningham and Crittenden both finished behind Britt there, with Cunningham in 3rd. 

France has a decent hurdling squad to represent in Wilhem Belocian, Just Kwaou-Mathey, Aurel Manga, and Erwann Cinna. Belocian and Kwaou-Mathey both have recent global hardware -- '25 World Indoor silver behind Holloway for Belocian, and '24 indoor bronze for Kwaou-Mathey. Manga is the veteran of the bunch with his global medal in 2018, while Cinna is the youngest with a bronze at the 2023 European U23 champs. 

Men's 400m hurdles (3:04pm ET): Benjamin's race in Stockholm said it all, and in Paris he could go even faster

It's decided: With a dominant win over Warholm and Dos Santos in Stockholm (at least over the standard 400mH distance), American Rai Benjamin is the favorite of the three global champs going into Tokyo. Without the pressure of a season opener and with the other two contenders not in Paris, he'll be an even bigger favorite Friday and it's possible he could go even faster than his 46.54 world lead.

Fellow American Trevor Bassitt upset Dos Santos to win the Philly Grand Slam series and could come the closest to challenge with his nice flat 400m speed. Abderrahman Samba (QAT) ran an impressive 4th in the Oslo 300mH behind the Big Three and could also challenge that runner-up spot, but the same could be said of Matheus Lima (BRA) who was 2nd behind only Warholm in Xiamen. France's Hugo Menin was a UTSA standout who made the semi-finals at NCAAs last week.

Women's high jump (3:06pm ET): Mahuchikh made magic here last year with a world record

Yaroslava Mahuchikh of Ukraine has a special relationship with Paris -- it's not only the city where she won Olympic gold last year, but it's also the site of her surprising 2.10m world record at least year's Paris DL. She returns this year and her 2025 scorecard is pretty similar to 2024 -- a lot of wins, a loss at World Indoors, a season's best just over 2 meters to show that it's possible if the time is right.

The only hitch is she's coming off a loss to Nicola Olyslagers (AUS) in Stockholm, and the rematch is set with Olyslagers on the Paris startlists to push Mahuchikh to new heights. The U.S. is represented by Vashti Cunningham and Charity Hufnagel -- veteran Cunningham was the U.S. indoor champ, but she was overshadowed by Hufnagel who placed 5th at World Indoors ahead of Cunningham's 10th. 19-year-old Angelina Topić (SRB) remains phenom to watch following her 4th at World Indoors, while Frenchwoman Solène Gicquel has seven national titles since 2020 including this year's indoor crown.

Men's 800m (3:15pm ET): Hoppel or Hoey's chance to finally win a DL?

U.S. Olympic 4th-placer Bryce Hoppel had a good chance to win his first Diamond League earlier this year in Doha, but he lost to a breakout performance by Botswana's Tshepiso Masalela. Both return in Paris, and without Emmanuel Wanyonyi (KEN) in the mix the battle for the win will likely include Hoppel and Masalela, who also won in Rabat with a 1:42.70 PB.

There is a third contender though: Nanjing World Indoor champ Josh Hoey has beat his countryman Hoppel all three times they've raced this year, and his 3rd place in Stockholm was a nice showing in 1:42.43. Hoey's outdoor season hasn't been as spectacular as indoors so far, but a win in Paris would do a lot for his confidence against the world's best that he'll face in Tokyo.

Veteran Gabriel Tual of France is actually the fastest in the field with a crazy 1:41.61 in Wanyonyi's wake last year, but he hasn't shown the same fitness in the circuit this year. His compatriot Yanis Meziane in the race was the European U23 champ two years ago.

Women's 3000m steeplechase (3:23pm ET): Cherotich's Oslo win makes her the one to beat

The Olympic champion Winifred Yavi was upset in Oslo by none other than bronze medalist Faith Cherotich (KEN), who returns in Paris now with the weight of favored status. Yavi isn't here but '21 Olympic champ Peruth Chemutai (UGA) is, and though she was 7th in Doha her FBK Games win coming into this meet was a marked improvement. 

Alice Finot is a steeplechase star in France following her '24 Euro Champs win, and her 8:58 PB is enough to challenge if the race goes out right. She'll be joined by '21 European U23 champ Flavie Renouard.

On the American end, a solid squad will represent in Courtney Wayment, Gabrielle Jennings, Olivia Markezich, and Angelina Napoleon. Wayment was runner-up at the Trials in 9:03; Jennings was the '22 NACAC champ and has set 1500m, mile, and 3K PBs this year; Markezich was the '23 NCAA champ for Notre Dame; and Napoleon was 3rd at NCAAs this year for NC State.

Men's javelin (3:42pm ET): Weber and Chopra's electric rivalry continues

The pride of India and the 2021 Olympic winner, Neeraj Chopra finally got his 90-meter PB this year in Doha -- but it wasn't a winning mark, as Germany's Julian Weber threw 91.06m to beat Chopra and begin a 2025 rivalry that will continue in Paris.

With no Americans or Frenchmen in the field, look for past global champs like Anderson Peters (GRN, '19 and '22 World victories; Paris bronze) and Julius Yego (KEN, '15 World champ and Turku continental tour winner this year) to mix it up and take advantage of any mistakes up front.

Women's 400m (3:51pm ET): Bella Whittaker is coming off a hot streak; now it's time to face the world's best

Penn and Arkansas alum Bella Whittaker (USA) has been having an incredible breakout year, from her indoor 49.24 at NCAAs to back-to-back wins at the Oslo and Stockholm Diamond League meetings. She beat world-class fields at both meets -- but they were notably missing both Marileidy Paulino (DOM) and Salwa Eid Naser (BRN), who are both in Paris to hand Whittaker her toughest challenge yet. The two finished 1-2 at the Paris Olympics and have both displayed brilliance at Grand Slam Track this year, so if Whittaker can beat either of them she'll be a serious force in Tokyo.

Lynna Irby-Jackson anchored the mixed 4x4 team at World Relays this year that won America's only gold. The host nation will be cheering on Amandine Brossier, who was a member of France's 5th-place 4x4 team at the Olympics and has nine national titles to her name since 2018.

Women's 200m (4:08pm ET): Americans could sweep

Brittany Brown made the U.S. Olympic team last year and ended it with a bronze medal and a 200m Diamond League finals victory. This will be her first race of the year outside her training base in Florida, and she'll face last year's NCAA champ McKenzie Long and Xiamen / Shanghai / Rome DL champ Anavia Battle. 

The best hope to break up a potential American sweep would be Dina Asher-Smith (GBR), who was runner-up over 100m in Stockholm behind only the Olympic champ Julien Alfred. To balance things out America does have a fourth entry in Deajah Stevens, who just ran a scintillating 22.18 (+1.0 m/s) to win a tune-up in Florida. Hélène Parisot of France was 4th at the Olympics last year as part of the French 4x1 team and will represent the nation in Paris.

Women's 100m hurdles (4:20pm ET): Nugent was starkly upset in Stockholm

With her impressive Philly Grand Slam perfect score and World Indoor bronze, Jamaica's Ackera Nugent would be a clear favorite in Paris. But she was upset by U.S. NCAA champ and Florida alum Grace Stark in Stockholm, setting up a must-watch rematch as the two return.

Keni Harrison had her American record taken from her at Miami Grand Slam but has been running solidly with a 12.40 SB. Alaysha Johnson (USA) performed when it counted to take runner-up at the Trials but has struggled in 2025, finishing 8th in Stockholm. Tobi Amusan (NGR) has been inconsistent since her world record in 2022, though her last hurdles race, a win at the non-DL Rabat hurdles event, was a great sign. 

Men's 5000m (4:27pm ET): All eyes on Nico Young after his 12:45 win in Oslo

Nico Young showed that not only is he fast, but he's also a global medal contender in Oslo by saving the foiled world record attempt with a blazing 12:45 American outdoor record. He only has about one second more to go to beat Grant Fisher's 12:44 indoor mark this year, and it's possible he could get it in in Paris.

Lightning rarely strikes twice in the same spot, so it's likely Paris will be a more tactical affair. Yomif Kejelcha (ETH) has demonstrated world-record excellence from the indoor mile all the way to the half marathon, and he led early in Oslo but was outkicked at the end. Thierry Ndikumwenayo (ESP) was 6th in a 12:47 one-second PB, but more impressive was Harvard's NCAA champ Graham Blanks who smashed his PB by running 12:48 for 7th as both return in Paris.

An interesting one to watch will be steeplechase Olympic champ Soufiane el Bakkali (MAR), who rarely puts himself in a fast 5K like this and should massively improve upon his 13:10 indoor PB. Frenchman Jimmy Gressier won this year's European road champs over the half marathon and will step down to race 5000m where he holds a 12:54 PB. He's joined in the race by Yann Schrub, Valentin Gondouin, and Etienne Daguinos.

Women's 1500m (4:50pm ET): Hunter-Bell can win over 800m and 1500m

Arguably the breakout star of 2024 following her 1500m bronze medal, Georgia Hunter-Bell (GBR) has raced sparingly outdoors this year beginning with a 4th-place Philly Slam 1500 finish. But she's been super impressive over 800m, winning the Stockholm DL against heavy-hitters like global champs Mary Moraa and Prudence Sekgodiso. Can she translate that success over to double the distance?

There are a few women who could beat her. Kenya's Nelly Chepchirchir has been winning a lot on the circuit in Faith Kipyegon's absence, and Birke Haylom (ETH) struggles with tactics but has run 3:53 before. Linden Hall (AUS) approaches this race from the opposite end of the spectrum, winning the Stockholm DL 3000m in 8:30.01 over a strong East African field. France sends Agathe Guillemot, Sarah Madeline, and Clara Liberman.
