Tebogo is expected to deliver something special following his triumph at the Oslo Diamond League, where he clocked 19.84 seconds.

The 200m race will also include Zimbabwean sprinter Makanakaishe Charamba, Zharnel Hughes (Britain), Bryan Levell (Jamaica), Adrian Kerr (Jamaica), Lindsey (USA), Tate Taylor (USA), Brandon Hicklin (USA) and Sam Blaskowski. On the other hand, Kebinatshipi is expected to continue where he left off in Paris, in a race that he set a Diamond League record and Personal Best (PB) of 43.54 seconds.
