Jamaican Elaine Thompson-Herah and Great Britain’s Dina Asher-Smith will square off over 100m at the Paris Diamond League, set for 28 August.
Thompson-Herah, who defended her Olympic Games sprint double title, is in the form of her life. She ran personal best times of 10.61 and 21.53 at the Tokyo 2020 games.
Asher-Smith, who, according to reports, went into the Tokyo Olympics below fitness, failed to make the final.
Also down to contest the event is Jamaican Shericka Jackson, who is also in the form of her life. She ran 10.77 at the Jamaica Olympic Trials and 10.76 to get bronze in Tokyo.
Jamaica’s Hansle Parchment, the Olympic Games champion and American Grant Holloway will battle in the men’s 110m hurdles.
American Fred Kerley, 100m silver medallist in Tokyo, will headline the men’s sprint.

Anata Skepmire I’ve been watching her from youth..she won youth championships..she’s my favourite athlete in Britain plus her parents are both Jamaicans
Dina was running well heading into the Olympics. Sorry she wasn’t able to make it to the finals.
Jean-Loup Parisis Sha’ aero was no where at the Olympics unless you were watching a different game
Jean-Loup Parisis Next Sat I think there is a race on NBC. Not sure of the time but it will have All ladies running. I tape it so I can see it whenever.
What clash? Asher – Smith was nowhere at the Olympics…
We want to see Elaine against Sha’carri!
Jean-Loup Parisis what happened to Asher-Smith in the Olympics? ..a no-show…..a complete regression.. too much pressure?
Asher is good but didn’t rise up in the biggest of occasion when it mattered the most, hence she is no match nor comparison to Elaine — even if Asher wins, Elaine has nothing to prove to her. Maybe against Sha’carri could be eventful.
Bayendang Paul agree.
Elaine have nothig to prove with nobody No Richardson nobody at.Richardson is awzanna be been promted by the press and msny who jumping on the hype
Youre dead on ARRival assher SMITH….brng it ON…u can lift the ban on shacarri too…
