Timothy Herman of Belgium should also feature based off his personal best of 87.35m last month in Nairobi last month.

Finnish duo of Oliver Helander and Lassi Etelatalo are also in the field.

Ahye has a personal best of 10.82 seconds in the 100 dash, and she will be looking to improve that time when she is featured alongside Daryll Neita of Great Britain, the American trio of Morolake Akinosun, Teahna Daniels and Cambrea Sturgis, and Ajla Del Ponte of Switzerland.
