Werro, Broeders-Bol and Lyles among stars in Ostrava

The Ostrava Golden Spike on June 13, 2026 will feature a marquee 800m showdown between Switzerland's Audrey Werro, who ran 1:53.98 in Stockholm to move third on the world all-time list, and two-time world 400m hurdles champion Femke Broeders-Bol, who is making her outdoor 800m debut after running 1:59.07 indoors in March. American sprinter Noah Lyles is also expected to compete, with an attempt on the world 150m best anticipated. Broeders-Bol, who holds the world 400m short track record of 49.17, retained her world 400m hurdles title last year after finishing third in the 400m at the same Ostrava meet.
