Joshua Cheptegei, the Ugandan long-distance runner, will be making his first Diamond League appearance of the 2021 season at the Rome/Florence Diamond League 2021. He will compete alongside Norwegian Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Mohamed Katir. The latter won 5000m at Gateshead with a personal best while Ingebrigtsen scored valuable early points when he coasted to a 1500m win at the same event.

The Diamond League will be held at Stadio Luigi Ridolfi in Florence as Rome’s Stadio Olimpico will be hosting the Euro Championships in football.

Italian fans will be eager to cheer on the local favorite in the men's high jump — Gianmarco Tamberi, who will be up against three-time Diamond League winner Mutaz Essa Barshim and Ilya Ivanyuk. The latter triumphed in Doha earlier this month.
