The Eugene Diamond League 2021, commonly known as the Prefontaine Classic 2021, will be held at Hayward Field Eugene, Oregon, on August 21.
The Prefontaine Classic 2021 is the eighth event on the Diamond League circuit.
There will be 20 events in the Prefontaine Classic 2021 with eight for men and 12 for women.
The Hayward Field in Eugene is the perfect place to settle some Olympic scores with a whole host of rematches on the track.
USA sprint prodigy Sha'Carri Richardson will be raring to go when she returns to action on home soil. The 21-year-old is still waiting for her first Diamond League victory and will face a tough test with the likes of Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah and Jamaican legend Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.
The women's 1500m will also see a gold versus silver rematch as Kenyan Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon takes on British star Laura Muir, who claimed her first ever Olympic medal with a second-place finish behind Kipyegon at the Tokyo Olympics 2021.

While Muir won the season opener at Gateshead, Kipyegon also got crucial points under her belt with a national record (broken now) in Monaco. Sifan Hassan, who won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics 2021, will be running the 5,000m where she hopes to break the world record.
Both the women’s and the men’s 100m races will be the ones to watch out for at the Prefontaine Classic 2021 with a whole host of Olympic medallists also set to take to the blocks.
200m gold medallist Andre De Grasse takes on Fred Kerley, who edged him to the silver medal in 100m at the Tokyo Olympics 2021. Other Americans such as Ronnie Baker and Trayvon Bromell will be looking to make up for Olympic disappointment by resuming their title charge on the Prefontaine Classic 2021.
