Lausanne Grand Prix
The Grand Prix circuit moves on to Switzerland for the prestigious Lausanne meeting, which traditionally attracts the top names in athletics. A year ago, Britain's Linford Christie was beaten in the 100m by Nigerian sprinter
Olapade Adeniken. Christie, who went on to gain revenge in the Olympic final in Barcelona, is expected to compete in a re-match tonight. Colin Jackson hopes to prove once again that he is the world's No 1 sprint hurdler, aiming to gain a psychological boost over his friend and training partner Mark McKoy , the Olympic champion, before next month's World Championships in Stuttgart. Sally Gunnell, the Olympic women's 400m hurdles gold medallist, is set to compete in that event tonight, while Yvonne Murray hopes to sharpen up for the World
Championships with a middle distance outing. Other star names hoping to be in action are Namibian sprinter
Frankie Fredericks , American 100m specialist Dennis Mitchell and Olympic long-jump champion Heike Drechsler - all of whom have Grand Prix victories to their credit this season.
Introduced by Helen Rollason with Brendan Foster.
