Perhaps the most interesting comeback of the season will be seen on Tuesday in Bellinzola, Switzerland when South Africa's biggest athletics star Wayde van Niekerk returns to action in the Gala dei Castelli. van Niekerk's latest struggle was with covid-19 and his last race was seven months ago in February in Bloemfontein, South Africa.

Some other top names of the evening are the defending world champion of men's long jump Jamaican Tajay Gayle and Holland's double world champion Dafne Schippers who aims to attack 11 seconds in women's 100 m race.

In women's 400 m hurdles it's interesting to see what Holland's young super star Femke Bol is able to produce. The-20-year-old Dutch has broken the national record this season with an impressive time on 53,79. That's faster than anyone else has run this season. In fact it's 1,4 seconds faster than anyone else.
