Follow live action from the meeting on Sunday on the IAAF Website, while live streaming coverage can be see here.
Some of the women’s best athletes, including Olympic champion Shelly Ann Fraser-Pryce of Jamaica, her compatriots Veronica Campbell-Brown, Kaliese Spencer, veteran Janeth Jepkosgei Busienei of Kenya, Kirani James of Grenada, Americans LaShawn Merritt and Aries Merritt, as well as Mutaz Essa Barshim of Qatar and Ukraine’s Bohdan Bondarenko.
At her press conference before the meet five-time world champion Fraser-Pryce said: “Last year was disappointing. But it was important to stay active because 2015 is a World Championships year.
“The field here is a good one, as always. It’s hard to hide in women’s sprints. There is always one, or sometimes many, to push you hard. I just want to execute my 100m really well.”
