Watch Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles highlight a star-studded field during the 2025 World Athletics Wanda Diamond League stop at London Stadium.

Canada's Marco Arop will look for another season's best when he competes at the Diamond League track and field meet in London this weekend.

Arop, the Paris Olympics silver medallist in the men's 800-metres, is coming off a season's-best result at the Diamond League stop in Monaco last week. The Edmonton native finished in one minute, 42.73 seconds to claim a fifth-place result.

Olympic gold medallist Emmanuel Wanyonyi of Kenya, will also be in London for the event after winning that Monaco racewith a world-leading time of 1:41.44.

CBC Gem and CBCSports.ca will carry all the live action from the Novuna London Athletics Meet, beginning on Saturday at 9 a.m. ET.

This weekend's men's 800m race is just one of several key events on Saturday — including Round 2 of Noah Lyles vs. Letsile Tebogo.
