Amy Hunt will continue her busy summer as the only athlete running both the women's 100m and 200m at the Diamond League Final in Brussels this weekend.

The young British sprint star, who won silver at the Commonwealth Games five weeks ago and claimed a record four gold medals at the European Athletics Championships, will face two stacked fields at the King Baudouin Stadium. Olympic silver medallist Sha'Carri Richardson, World Championship silver medallist Tina Clayton and Commonwealth Games champion Zoe Hobbs headline the 100m, while two-time Olympic medallist Julien Alfred is the favourite in the 200m.

The season-long Diamond League reaches its conclusion over two nights on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 September. Pole vault icon Mondo Duplantis will face a legitimate rival in Emmanouil Karalis, while Audrey Werro and Femke Broeders-Bol meet in the women's 800m.

Recent world-record breakers Alison Dos Santos (men's 400m hurdles) and Masai Russell (women's 100m hurdles) are also in action. British interest includes Georgia Hunter Bell in the women's 1500m, Matthew Hudson-Smith in the men's 400m and Ben Pattison in the men's 800m.

The BBC has UK television rights, with live coverage on BBC Three from 7pm BST on Friday and BBC Two from 7pm BST on Saturday. Both nights are also on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.

Why this matters: The Diamond League Final is the climax of the season-long athletics series, with global stars competing for titles.

What this means for you: UK viewers can watch the Diamond League Final live on BBC Three and BBC Two, or via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.
