Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi is returning to Diamond League action this evening in Oslo, Norway, after a second place at the Rabat meet in Morocco late last month.
The reigning world champion had played second-fiddle to British Max Burgin in Rabat, and he is set to compete in one of the deepest fields this season.
Wanyonyi, who has occasionally been producing commanding victories in the 1500m, will be taking on 800m giants, among them the world’s number four and five of all time, Marco Arop and Djamel Sedjati, respectively. He (Wanyonyi) is the third of all time.
