Noah Lyles and Armand Duplantis are among the world champions aiming to end 2023 on a high note as the World Athletics Diamond League concludes in Eugene, Oregon, this weekend.

Sweden's Armand Duplantis competes during the Men Pole Vault contest of the Brussels IAAF Diamond League athletics meeting on Sept. 8, at the King Baudouin stadium.

Lyles will race the 100m for the first time since the World Championships. He'll have little margin for error in a field that includes world silver medalist Letsile Tebogo and former world champ Christian Coleman -- who notched a world-leading 9.83sec at the Diamond League in Xiamen two weeks ago. Duplantis, who retained his world title with a vault of 6.10m in Budapest, said much the same, with the friendly Eugene venue and a reduced field in the season's final event perhaps offering another good chance to beat his own world record of 6.22m.

Jamaica's 200m world champion Shericka Jackson will tackle both the 100m and 200m. The 100m will pit her against world champion Sha'Carri Richardson, who has won all three of their 100m clashes this season.
