# Athletics: South Africa’s Akani Simbine will continue his preparations for the World Athletics Championships in September when he races in a star-studded 100 metres Diamond League event in London today. Olympic champion Noah Lyles insisted he was ready to bring his showman persona to a sell-out London Stadium. A crowd of 60-thousand is expected to pack out the home stadium of Premier League club West Ham, which served as the venue for track and field during the 2012 Olympics. South Africa’s Zakithi Nene will run in the men’s 400 metres.
