Britain’s leading athletes face a major early season test of their World Championship credentials at a star-studded Prefontaine Classic at Hayward Field this weekend.

The venue in Eugene, Oregon will host this summer’s Championships and the third leg of this year’s Diamond League has attracted a stellar cast for what looks a mini dress rehearsal.

Tonight’s action sees Uganda’s Joshua Cheptegei and Ethiopia’s Letesenbet Gidey attempting to lower their own 5,000m world records, while Olympic 5,000m and 10,000m champion Sifan Hassan makes her seasonal return over two miles, before the Diamond League contests take place tomorrow.

Olympic silver medalists Laura Muir (1500m) and Keely Hodgkinson (800m) lead the British challenge having both won in Birmingham last weekend, with the former taking on Tokyo conqueror Faith Kipyegon for the first time this term.

Dina Asher-Smith was also a winner in Birmingham and lines up in a stacked women’s 100m field that is headed by the second-fastest woman of all-time in Elaine Thompson-Herah, while her Jamaican teammate Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce meets Shaunae Miller-Uibo over 200m.

In the prestigious Bowerman Mile, Norwegian sensation Jakob Ingebrigtsen renews his rivalry with Kenya’s Timothy Cheruiyot having pipped the world champion to Olympic gold last summer.
