The Diamond League returns to China with Xiamen hosting the premier event in athletics outside the Olympics and World Championships.

Budapest provided some incredible performances and Zurich offered a chance of redemption for some of the athletes who fell short of their expectations in Hungary.

Stars to look out for in China on Saturday include American hurdler Grant Holloway and women's 400m world champion and Dominican Republic's Marileidy Paulino.

While Great Britain’s Ben Pattison returns in the 800m after his surprise bronze in Budapest, and he’ll be looking to take down Canada’s world champion Marco Arop.
