Four Jamaicans line up for Oslo Diamond League meeting

Four Jamaicans, including Olympic Games finalists Christopher Taylor and Natoya Goule-Toppin, will compete at today’s Oslo Diamond League Meeting to be held at the Bislett Stadium in Norway.

Taylor will line up in the 400m, Goule-Toppin in the women’s 800m, while former Olympic and World Champion Omar McLeod will contest the 110m hurdles and Danniel Thomas-Dodd take part in the women’s shot put.

Goule-Toppin ,who is coming off a seventh-place finish in Rome last week, will take on the British trio of Keely Hodgkinson, Jemma Reeikie and Laura Muir and France’s Renelle Lamote.

McLeod will be up against a strong field that includes American world leader Devon Allen who ran 12.84 seconds in New York, the third-fastest time ever, another American Aaron Mallett, France’s Wilhem Belocian and Rafael Pereira of Brazil.
