Ese Brume seeks first Diamond League victory against formidable cast in Suzhou
Ese Brume will aim for two things when she competes at the Suzhou Diamond League against a respectable field of jumpers.
Fred Kerley in the men's 100m event
Former world 100m champion Fred Kerley's goal will be to overcome the fast start of his countryman Christian Coleman, who claimed the needed victory against him in Xiamen, clocking 10.13s.
)
Kerley hasn't been on top of pundits' favourite list for a 100m win in the past year, so Suzhou will be the perfect opportunity to start.
With an interesting field set up that includes world 60m finalist and African Games champion Emmanuel Eseme, South Africa's legendary sprinter Akani Simbine, and Jamaican speed sensations Ackeem Blake and Rohan Watson, the race is primed to be faster.
)
Coleman and Kerley will have their focus on each other, but anyone listed above can be victorious at the finish line.
Tobi Amusan in the women's 100m Hurdles
The women's 100mH lived up to expectations in Xiamen, so it won't be anything short of the same exceptional performances this time.
Olympic champion Jasmine Camacho-Quinn went home with the win in 12.45s to officially kick start her Olympic year, as World 60m Record holder Devynne Charlton settled for the second position.
)
Meanwhile, the WR holder in the event Tobi Amusan finished fifth, but she'll be gunning to turn things around and restamp her name as the fastest in the field.

Why Tobi Amusan's defeat at Xiamen Diamond League is just a wake-up call
Tobi Amusan lost to Olympic champion Camacho-Quinn and World Record holder Devynne Charlton at the Xiamen Diamond League. Should this be a cause for concern?
If Amusan gets a comeback victory against her rivals, she will be back in the conversation as the favourite for the Olympic title in Paris.
Sha'Carri Richardson in the women's 200m event
After losing to 19-year-old Australian speed sensation Torrie Lewis in Xiamen, Richardson will be aiming for not just the maximum points but a famous fast time to prove her doubters wrong.
)
The world's fastest woman will race to defeat a world-class field of fellow compatriots Clark and Anavia Battle, teammate Twanisha Terry, Great Britain's Daryll Neita, Bahamian Anthonique Strachan, Swiss star Mujinga Kambudji, and pretty-unknown Caisja Chandler, who can also pull an upset like Lewis did.
