The StockholmDiamond League quickly follows an action-packed night in Rome this week as the athletics circuit gathers pace ahead of this summer’s Commonwealth Games and European Championships.

Keely Hodgkinson grabbed a PB after dropping down in distance in the 400m, in a move designed to help the Olympic champion and her career-long quest to break three elite time barriers, but she will be back in her preferred 800m, with a word record in her sights this summer.

Jeremiah Azu goes in the 200m, with USA star Kenny Bednarek also lining up, while Dina Asher-Smith and Amy Hunt battle it out over 100m against the USA’s world champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden.

Jake Wightman and Ben Pattison will be involved in a compelling 800m, including Olympic and world medalist Marco Arop and American teen sensation Cooper Lutkenhaus.

Keely Hodgkinson claimed a personal best as she finished seventh on her women’s 400m Diamond League debut in Rome.

The Paris gold medallist is looking to smash Jarmila Kratochvilova’s near-43-year-old women’s outdoor 800m record this summer and made further progress on her 400m speed, coming home with a time of 51.14 in a race won by Henriette Jaeger.

Hodgkinson finished behind compatriot Amber Anning, who placed in fifth position with a time of 50.19 at the Stadio Olimpico.

Two-time world indoor champion Molly Caudery clinched the pole vault title with a season’s best jump of 4.80m, while fellow indoor champion Georgia Hunter Bell came first in the women’s 1500m with a time of three minutes 58.63 seconds.

Olympic champion Julien Alfred won the women’s 200m, while 2025 World Championships silver medallist Amy Hunt took fourth in 22.52 seconds and came in front of fifth-placed Dina Asher-Smith, who finished in 22.76 seconds.

Elsewhere, Olympic champion Noah Lyles took the men’s 100m title with a time of 9.88 seconds, ahead of Cameroon’s Emmanuel Eseme and Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo in second and third respectively. Jeremiah Azu came ninth.

"I am not showing anywhere to lose. I am here to win," Lyles said. "10 metres before the finish line I knew the ⁠race was over and I had already won it. I was thinking about how I was going ​to ⁠celebrate it."

Tracy McGrady knows a thing or two about greatness. He competed against and earned the respect of some of the best players in history during his playing career. The NBA legend had nothing but good words to say about Victor Wembanyama on Tuesday.

A clip of McGrady giving the 22-year-old the ultimate praise continues to circulate on X. It has almost 400,000 views. He made it clear that he believes no one matches what Wembanyama brings night in and night out.

“He’s the face of the league,” McGrady said. “That man is the best player on both ends of the court. No one in our game has the impact that Wemby has on the basketball court, I’m sorry.”

McGrady highlighted how the San Antonio Spurs superstar has impacted the game. He added that Wembanyama doesn’t need to win a title or MVPs to prove that he’s the best player in the NBA today.

Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs are ready for the NBA Finals

The NBA Finals media day was held on Tuesday at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio. Spurs players, including Wembanyama and Stephon Castle, among others, looked relaxed and ready to compete for the title. They fielded questions from reporters and interacted with some of them during the event.

Their demeanor said a lot about how much they’ve prepared for the championship series. However, the big test for the team’s young core will begin on Wednesday. Playing at home will help calm their nerves, as it’s time to prove that the bright lights of the NBA Finals won’t be too much for them to handle. Tip-off is set for 8:30 p.m. ET.
