Breaking: An array of track stars in spikes will be making headlines on July 11th as the Herculis EBS 2025 meeting transforms the Louis-II Stadium into an arena of elite athletic firepower

 

Monte Carlo, Monaco – July 5, 2025 — The stage is set, the spikes are sharpened, and the world’s fastest and most fearless athletes are gearing up to storm the track at the Herculis EBS 2025 meeting on July 11. Held in the iconic Stade Louis-II, the Monaco leg of the Wanda Diamond League promises to be a firework display of speed, stamina, and record-breaking ambition.

Often described as a jewel in the crown of the global athletics calendar, the Herculis EBS meet has a legacy of stunning performances and world records. With its fast track, electric crowd, and postcard-perfect Riviera setting, Monaco is where the stars shine brightest—and this year’s lineup may be the most dazzling yet.

From Olympic champions to rising teenage phenoms, an array of track titans are confirmed to compete, turning the Principality into an arena of elite athletic firepower. Headlining the sprints is none other than Noah Lyles, the reigning 100m and 200m world champion, who returns to Monaco aiming to fine-tune his form ahead of the Paris 2025 World Championships. Alongside him, Jamaican sensation Shericka Jackson will take on the women’s 200m, where fans are anticipating another flirtation with the world record she nearly toppled last season.

In the middle distances, Monaco’s traditional stronghold, the men’s 1500m is expected to be a thriller. All eyes will be on Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the Norwegian tactician and Olympic gold medalist, as he battles a deep field that includes Kenya’s Timothy Cheruiyot and rising Ethiopian star Samuel Tefera.

The women’s 800m is equally mouthwatering, with American record-holder Athing Mu facing off against Great Britain’s Keely Hodgkinson and Kenya’s Mary Moraa—a trio whose rivalry has defined the event in recent years.

And let’s not forget the field events, where world-class jumpers and vaulters will test their limits. Sweden’s pole vault king Armand “Mondo” Duplantis is expected to take flight once again, chasing yet another world record under the Monaco night sky. In the women’s long jump, Olympic champion Malaika Mihambo returns to compete against a surging pack of talent, including Serbia’s Ivana Vuleta.

Organizers have promised a night of “unfiltered athletic magic,” with music, lights, and atmosphere designed to elevate every jump, throw, and sprint. “Monaco always brings out the best in the athletes,” said meeting director Jean-Pierre Schoebel. “It’s more than a meet—it’s a moment.”

Tickets are nearly sold out, and global viewership is expected to reach millions as broadcasters prepare for a live showcase of speed and spectacle.

On July 11th, the Louis-II Stadium won’t just host a track meet—it will become the epicenter of global athletics. Brace yourself: Monaco is about to make headlines.
