Summary
Olympic 100m champion Julien Alfred and 200m champion Gabby Thomas face off in the longer event with Britain’s Asher-Smith and Amy Hunt, with plenty of other stars including Oblique Seville, Yaroslava Mahuchikh and Mondo Duplantis all in action on a stacked day in the capital. The 28-year-old became the seventh British athlete to claim the mile record, and first since Steve Cram in 1985. Roared on by a sell-out crowd of 60,000 at London Stadium, the five-time global medallist bettered the Moroccan's mark - untouched since 1999, when Kerr was aged one - by nearly half a second.
Furthermore, World silver medallist Georgia Hunter-Bell has had to withdraw due to illness but the 800m field remains stacked, with Femke Broeders-Bol in action - progressing from her usual 400m hurdles - alongside Olympic silver medallist Tsige Duguma.
