AT least 13 Rio Olympic track and field champions have confirmed their participation for the 2017 IAAF Diamond League on May 13 in Shanghai Air Jordan 6 UNC For Sale , organizers announced yesterday.
The Shanghai leg, serving as the second stop of the 14-leg Diamond League Air Jordan 6 UNC 2017 , will feature 16 items — nine for men and seven for women. Six Chinese athletes will vie with the world’s best for the honors.
China’s Xie Wenun will line-up in the men’s 110-meter hurdles — the traditional closing event here — with world indoor champion and Rio gold medalist Omar McLeod. The Jamaican will be looking to show his early season form as he gears up for a tilt at the world title in London in August. Xie and McLeod will hope to outrun Rio silver medalist Orlando Ortega in the event.
“I didn’t set any specific goal for myself so there won’t be any pressure,” Xie said yesterday. “There is a national meet and World Championship this year. Shanghai runners have always dominated the 110m hurdles and I hope to keep that momentum going.”
Xie was referring to local Olympic and world champion Liu Xiang.
Chinese sprinter Su Bingtian and Rio silver medalist Justin Gatlin will compete in the 100m. The American is the defending champion.
David Rudisha Air Jordan 6 UNC Black , Kenya’s 800m world record holder, will look for some early pointers three months ahead of his world title defense. In other men’s track events Air Jordan 6 Retro UNC , Rio champion and 2016’s fastest one-lap hurdler Kerron Clement of the US will compete in the 400m hurdles. Panamanian sprinter Alonso Edward will lead the 200m field which also has China’s own national record holder and world relay silver medalist Xie Zhenye.
The men’s field events have some intriguing match-ups. Canada’s world and Olympic champion Derek Drouin will take on China’s world silver medalist Zhang Guowei in high jump.
“Drouin and I know each other very well,” Zhang said. “It’s just about who finds a better form. My goal is to reach 2.3 meters.”
In pole vault Air Jordan 6s UNC , Brazil’s Rio hero Thiago Braz faces France’s world indoor record holder Renaud Levillenie and China’s Xue Changrui.
The women’s events are equally star-studded. Jamaica’s Rio champion Elaine Thompson will make her Shanghai debut in the 100m. Another Rio gold medalist Shaunae Miller of the Bahamas will take on her Jamaican rival Stephanie McPherson in the 400m.
Croatia’s Olympic discus champion Sandra Perkovic will be seeking her fourth victory at Shanghai Stadium, while China’s Gong Lijiao will hope to reproduce the crowd-pleasing form that saw her defeat a world-class field to win the shot put contest two years ago.

SYDNEY， March 10 (Xinhua) -- A record number of motorists killed on Victorian roads in 2016 had drugs in their system， new data has revealed.
People with illicit drugs in their system accounted for a third of all deaths on Victorian roads in 2016， Victoria Police revealed on Friday.
The statistics showed that 58 motorists killed in 2016 had been using drugs， up from 36 in 2015 and 27 in 2014.
Alcohol-related motorist deaths also went up 60 percent in 2016.
Victoria Police released the figures as it plans to ramp up roadside drug and alcohol testing in Victoria ahead of a public holiday on Monday.
"What is of real concern to us is over the last couple of years we've seen increase for those who have died where there has been illicit drugs present，" Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Doug Fryer told News Limited on Friday.
"The community really needs to get their heads around what sort of impact this has. We're not here to be the moral police around illicit drugs.
"We want to talk around separating the behaviours. We don't have as many people using drugs as use alcohol， but it is clear that the use of illicit drugs and driving is a recipe for disaster."
100，000 roadside drug tests were carried out in Victoria in 2016 with 8，700 testing positive. Methamphetamines were the most common substance followed by cannabis.
Fryer said that people who drove under the influence were endangering innocent road users as well as themselves.
"We are getting people killing themselves but we're also getting people who are using illicit drugs who are killing others，" he said.
"We're really concerned that people think it's OK to use drugs and drive. It's not."
Victoria is on track to record its best ever road toll， with five fewer people having been killed on the roads to date than the historic low.
LONDON， May 2 (Xinhua) -- Bedtime was cancelled in Leicester Monday night as the city's football club was officially crowned championships of the English top flight for the first time in its history.
Thousands of citizens in Leicester watched a late kickoff clash between London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur， knowing the result of that game will make history in Leicester.
Spurs needed a victory at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge to keep alive hopes of catching up Leicester City.
The kickoff at 8 p.m. BST meant the people of Leicester， more than 140 kilometers away in the East Midlands region of England， had to cling on to every second of the match in the country's capital.
The waiting was over after 90 minutes plus six agonising minutes of extra time， with a 2-2 draw enough to secure championships for Leicester.
There was singing and dancing in the city as revellers celebrated a moment of football history. The cheering was loud enough to wake even King Richard III whose remains were laid to rest just months ago in a Leicester Cathedral.
People took to social media to express their delight. Jam.
