Top track and field stars ramp up their outdoor seasons as at the Adidas Atlanta City Games, live on NBC and Peacock this Saturday from 3-4 p.m. ET.
The meet at Piedmont Park features Erriyon Knighton, who was fourth at the last two Olympics in the 200m. In Atlanta, he’ll race the 100m, looking to break 10 seconds in a wind-legal race for the first time.
The 100m field also includes Paris Olympic finalists Akani Simbine of South Africa and Oblique Seville of Jamaica.
Rio Olympic 400m champion Wayde van Niekerk of South Africa drops down to the 200m. That field also includes Brit Zharnel Hughes, the 2023 World 100m bronze medalist.
The women’s 100m hurdles features the last two world record holders: Tobi Amusan of Nigeria and American Keni Harrison.
Anna Hall, a two-time world medalist in the heptathlon, takes on two of those seven events: the 100m hurdles and the long jump. The long jump features Jasmine Moore, who won bronze in both the long jump and triple jump at the Paris Games.
Full fields, subject to change, are here.
