The Lausanne Diamond League meeting shook up the standings and raised the stakes for several top American athletes.

The stakes are clear: reach the final and win, or watch their World Championship hopes slip away. But standing in their way are some of the biggest global names in the sport, Olympic champions, world record holders, and rising stars all chasing the same prize.

With Lausanne in the books and Brussels up next, here’s how the picture has shifted for some of the top Americans in the hunt as we close in on the Diamond League Final in Zurich.

Men’s 1500m

There was no men’s 1500m in Lausanne, so the standings remained unchanged. However, Brussels will feature the event, and Yared Nuguse is one to watch. After a dominant win in Silesia, he sits fourth in the standings. This is his final chance to officially secure a spot in the Diamond League Final, where he could fight for the wild card into Worlds. Given his current form and momentum, reaching Zurich looks well within reach for the Olympic bronze medalist.

Women’s 200m

Olympic bronze medalist Brittany Brown jumped to sixth in the standings with 11 points after a rainy win in Lausanne. McKenzie Long had a rough race but remains in the top eight. With no women’s 200m scheduled in Brussels, both should be safely locked in for Zurich. What makes this especially intriguing is the depth of the field they’ll face in the final. The women’s 200m has been one of the most competitive events all season, featuring stars such as American Anavia Battle, Great Britain’s Amy Hunt and Ivorian Marie Josée Ta Lou-Smith who ran a season’s best (22.37) in Lausanne.

Women’s 100m Hurdles

Tonea Marshall (sixth, 14 points) and Keni Harrison (eighth, 12 points) are right in the mix. If they choose the Diamond League route to Worlds, their chances look strong– especially with Olympic champion Masai Russell not competing in Zurich. For Harrison, a seasoned veteran with global medals to her name, Zurich could be another shot at proving she still belongs among the very best. For Marshall, it’s an opportunity to turn her Diamond League consistency into a career-defining breakthrough. Like the women’s 200m, there’s no 100m hurdles in Brussels, so these standings should hold steady.

Men’s 5000m

American Graham Blanks faced tough conditions in Lausanne, which likely factored into a subpar performance. Even so, he currently holds the final qualifying spot. Unlike the sprints (100m–800m), which take the top eight, the 1500m and longer events send the top ten to Zurich—keeping Blanks’ hopes alive.

Men’s 800m

Josh Hoey delivered a stellar performance in Lausanne, winning in 1:42.82 and jumping to second in the standings with 20 points. After a heartbreaking fourth-place finish at the U.S. Trials, Zurich is his last shot at Worlds. The looming question: can he outduel reigning Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi if they both line up in the final?

The men’s 800m has been one of the most stacked events all season, with reigning Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi at the center of it all. Add in names like Djamel Sedjati (currently fourth in diamond league standings) and Zurich promises to be a true clash of global medalists. For Hoey, the path is clear but daunting: reach Zurich, then take down the world’s very best to keep his World Championship hopes alive.

As Brussels approaches, the stakes only climb higher. Every point matters, every race could be decisive. Who will punch their ticket to Zurich, and who will rise to claim the wild card into worlds? The Diamond League Final is winner-takes-all but first, Brussels will set the stage.
