The two world record holders will face off at Letzigrund Stadium on Wednesday 4 September – a day before the Weltklasse Zürich Diamond League meeting.

Tickets on sale from 09:00 (CET) on Wednesday 14 August.

Hosted in collaboration between PUMA, Red Bull and Weltklasse Z ü rich, the two track stars will clash at the legendary Letzigrund Stadium on Wednesday 4 September, ahead of the Weltklasse Z ü rich Diamond League meeting the following day. The event marks the culmination of a long-standing back-and-forth between the two iconic athletes, which has been simmering since July 2023.

A short clip shared on social media last summer, in which the pair discuss the prospect of racing one another, had sports fans across the globe fizzing with excitement; now that tantalising prospect is to become a reality as the two stars battle it out over the definitive sprint distance to see which one really is the fastest.

Warholm is the reigning 400-meter hurdles world record holder, an Olympic gold and silver medalist and three-time world champion, whilst Duplantis is the newly-crowned double Olympic champion and has broken the pole vault world record a staggering nine times.

Despite the two superstars competing in different events, their respective personal bests in the 100-meters are not so far apart. Warholm recorded 10.49 seconds back in 2017 whilst Duplantis clocked a 10.57 as a high school senior just a year later – making the contest incredibly tough to call, and all the more exciting for spectators who are set for an incredible night of action.
