Paris DL adds more big names, by Alfons Juck, EME News PARIS (FRA): With a little less than a month until the big day, the line-up for the MEETING AREVA 2013 has just been further boosted by a handful of new names. The presence in the Stade de France on Saturday 6 July of this host of stars from World athletics, who have already been crowned with success or are in the process of doing just that, will make the French stage of the IAAF Diamond League even glossier than in previous editions. In the 200 m not only Usain Bolt but also Christophe Lemaitre, Warren Weir, Nickel Ashmeade, Churandy Martina and Jason Young will run. Latest addition is Jimmy Vicaut. Until now Jimmy Vicaut has never had the opportunity to participate in the MEETING AREVA. Indeed he’s never even had the chance to compete in a single competition on the Stade de France track. Meanwhile, the line-up for the men’s 400m isn’t quite complete as yet. However, confirmation of the presence of the world’s top specialists already ensures it will be one of the evening’s high points. Kirani James, the young prodigy from Grenada, reigning Olympic and World Champion, will cross swords here with American LaShawn Merritt. In the high hurdles Aries Merritt, Jason Richardson and David Oliver are confirmed.
