Amy Hunt v Shericka Jackson v Sha'Carri Richardson in Shanghai

The 2026 Diamond League season opens on Saturday, May 16, in Shanghai/Keqiao, the first of 15 host cities this year, after Doha's opener was postponed from May 8 to June 19 due to geopolitical tensions. The showcase event is the women's 200m, featuring Amy Hunt, who won world 200m silver in Tokyo and set a UK all-time second-best of 22.08 seconds, alongside Shericka Jackson and Sha'Carri Richardson. Hunt will be targeting a sub-22-second barrier for the first time as she builds on her World Championships podium finish.
