With their inclusion, the race now features <strong>nine athletes with sub-10-second personal bests<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s shaping up to be an unmissable race, featuring Olympic bronze medalist<strong> Fred Kerley<\/strong> (USA)\u2014a three-time Golden Gala winner (400m in 2018, 100m in 2022 and 2023), Kenya\u2019s <strong>Ferdinand Omanyala<\/strong>, and Italy\u2019s <strong>Filippo Tortu<\/strong> and <strong>Chituru Ali<\/strong>.
