Nella tarda serata italiana (ore 23:30 sui canali Eurosport) va in scena la seconda tappa di Grand Slam Track a Miami (spalmata su tre giorni, fino a domenica), dopo l’esordio di inizio aprile a Kingston (qui tutti i leader della classifica provvisoria).
Anche per Miami sono stati ingaggiati 48 Challengers (24 uomini e 24 donne) che si affiancheranno ai Racers, i partecipanti a tutte le quattro tappe del circuito. Negli Usa, ci saranno tra gli altri Alaysha Johnson, Freweyni Hailu, Peter Bol, Alexander Ogando e Trey Cunningham, mentre si registrano già un paio di defezioni per infortunio come quella del mezzofondista guatemalteco Luis Grijalva.
Grand Slam Track a Miami darà poi il benvenuto al campione olimpico dei 400 metri di Tokyo, Steven Gardiner, che ha firmato un contratto da Racer per sostituire Quincy Hall (quest’ultimo correrà domani in Diamond League, ndr).
