Shanghai set the tone, but Xiamen, seven days later, has a different kind of weight: two disciplines that weren't in last week's program, the same sprint field back for a second read, and a 400m hurdles race.

In Shanghai, Alison dos Santos ran 33.01 over 300mH. He beat Karsten Warholm to a personal best, a world lead, and the second-fastest time in history. Now they are on the same line in Warholm's world record event.

Four Hundredths Was The Difference Last Week 

The 400m hurdles world record is 45.94 seconds, set by Karsten Warholm at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. He has won the World Title three times and the European title three times. At the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo, he finished fifth in 47.58, but Rai Benjamin won that day in 46.52. Benjamin will not be in Xiamen.

Dos Santos ran 46.29 in Eugene in 2022 to win the world championship and took Olympic bronze in both Tokyo and Paris. Last week in Shanghai, he crossed the line ahead of Warholm in the 300m hurdles by four hundredths of a second. Abderrahman Samba, the 2025 Worlds bronze medalist, is also entered, as are Trevor Bassitt, who ran a personal best of 34.02 in Shanghai, Kyron McMaster, and CJ Allen. 

The read on Warholm is that he arrived in China fit, even though this 33.05 last Saturday was not enough for the win. Whether the 400m hurdles reveals something his season has been building toward, or whether dos Santos came to China with the better end of the form, is the question Xiamen will answer.

The Sprint Conversation 

The women's 200m has the same three headliners as Shanghai: Shericka Jackson, Sha'Carri Richardson, Shaunae Miller-Uibo. 

Amy Hunt is back, along with Anavia Battle, McKenzie Long, Jenna Prandini, Torrie Lewis and Yujie Chen. 

One race tells you about fitness and timing. Two races, a week apart, begin to tell you about order. Jackson's 21.41 is the second-fastest 200m in history, behind only Florence Griffith-Joyner's 21.34 from Seoul 1988. Richardson is the 2023 world 100m champion. Miller-Uibo has won the Olympic 400m twice and does not lose the back-straight.

What changes between last week and this one, is not the athletes; it is the information they now carry about each other's early-season condition. 

The men's 100m field includes Christian Coleman, Letsile Tebogo, Akani Simbine, Ferdinand Omanyala, Kenneth Bednarek, Trayvon Bromell, and Gift Leotlela. The 2025 world champion Oblique Seville is not entered. Neither is Kishane Thompson. What that leaves is a field without a settled favourite.

The Title That Changed Hands 

Mattia Furlani won the 2025 World Indoor Championship, became the youngest long jump world champion in history in Tokyo, and has already jumped 8.43 meters outdoors in 2026. 

Miltiadis Tentóglou won the Olympic long jump at Tokyo 2020 and again at Paris 2024, making him the only man since Carl Lewis to claim back-to-back Olympic gold in the event. His personal best is 8.65 meters. He won the 2023 World Championship, but Furlani took that title from him in 2025. 

Tajay Gayle, the 2019 world champion, and Wayne Pinnock are also in the field.

The Shot Put 

Ryan Crouser has thrown the shot put 23.56 meters. Nobody else has thrown it farther. He has three Olympic gold medals and three world championship titles and is one of just a few shot putters in history to win three consecutive world outdoor titles.

Tom Walsh won the 2026 World Indoor Championships in Toruń, following his 2025 World Indoor title and a number of gold medals that came before that. His personal best of 22.90 meters ranks seventh all-time.

Leonardo Fabbri leads the 2026 outdoor world rankings at 22.50 meters. Crouser holds the distance, but how far he throws in Xiamen will say more about his 2026 season than whether he wins.

Without Kipyegon, Again 

Birke Haylom won the women's 1500m in Shanghai last week in 3:55.56 - a meet record and the world lead. Tsige Duguma ran 3:55.71. Abbey Caldwell was third in 3:56.12. The whole field came in under 4:01. 

Jessica Hull ran 3:57.91 and finished sixth. 

Both Haylom and Hull are back in Xiamen, along with Dorcus Ewoi, Linden Hall, and Worknesh Mesele. 

Hull holds the 2000m world record, set at Monaco in 2024, and her 1500m personal best of 3:50.83 is the fifth fastest in history. She won Olympic silver and world bronze in fields built around Kipyegon, who will not race on Saturday. Shanghai was a fast race, but Hull was two seconds behind the winner of it, and Haylom now carries the world lead into Xiamen. The 1500m conversation has a new name at the front of it for now.

The Records Room

The women's 100m hurdles in Xiamen is close to the same field as Shanghai: Ditaji Kambundji, the 2025 world champion who ran 12.24 in Tokyo, Tobi Amusan the current record holder at 12.12, Masai Russell at 12.17 and second all-time, alongside Danielle Williams, Devynne Charlton, Ackera Nugent, Tonea Marshall, and Megan Simmonds. 

The same athletes, one more week of the season in their legs, a reference point they did not have last Saturday. The first meeting showed who arrived fit, but the second tells you who is building. What more could you want in a lineup?

Cordell Tinch won the 2025 world title in 12.99 and has run 12.87, tied for the fourth-fastest time in 110m hurdles history. Last week Jamal Britt had the better of him, equaling his personal best of 13.07 for the third time this season to Tinch's 13.10. 

They will line up against Jason Joseph, Eric Edwards, and Rachid Muratake. Tinch ran that 12.87 at the Shanghai Diamond League last year and this week is the next entry in that argument: was it a ceiling, or a foundation? 

What Shanghai Didn't Have

The women's high jump and women's javelin are not on the Shanghai programme. Xiamen has both.

Eleanor Patterson won the 2022 World Championship at 2.02 meters and took Olympic bronze in Paris. Morgan Lake cleared 2.00 meters in Zurich last year, becoming the first British woman to break that barrier. Lamara Distin, Iryna Gerashchenko, and Yuliia Levchenko are also entered. Yaroslava Mahuchikh, who holds the world record at 2.10 meters, is not. 

The women's javelin has Haruka Kitaguchi as its headliner. She won the 2024 Olympic gold in Paris and the 2023 World Championship in Budapest, and her personal best of 67.38 meters, set at the Memorial Van Damme in 2023. Maria Andrejczyk, who won Olympic silver in Tokyo, is also entered alongside Serbia's Adriana Vilagoš and Norway's Sigrid Borge.

Also Worth Your Time

The women's 3000m steeplechase has a number of Olympic medalists in the same race. Winfred Yavi won in Paris in 2024 and holds the second-fastest time in history at 8:44.39; she is also the 2023 world champion. Peruth Chemutai, who won the event at the Tokyo Olympics, and Faith Cherotich. 

Mohamed Abdilaahi won the 3000m in Shanghai last week and steps up to the 5000m here.

The women's discus has Jorinde van Klinken and Laulauga Tausaga. Valarie Sion, the two-time Olympic champion, who opened her season with 73.10 meters is also in the field.

Shanghai gave the season its first answers. Dos Santos made sure those answers came with more questions attached.
