As part of the Diamond League Athletics tour, on July 8th the world's finest athletes return to the Stade de France in Paris.

So far, the League has visited Doha, Shanghai, Rome, Eugene, Oslo and New York, and will call at Lausanne in Switzerland before arriving in St Denis.

Last year's event saw Usain Bolt pip Asafa Powell in the 100m final by less than a tenth of second, while home favourite Renaud Lavillenie triumphed in the pole vault and the Great Britain & Northern Ireland team clinched the 4x100m relay.

Bolt will be returning to attempt to add the 200m to his Diamond League roll of honour, and French sprinter Christophe Lema™tre will hope to challenge him. After a fifth-place finish in the 100m last year, Lema™tre has recently claimed the French record with a time of 9.96 seconds. If he can produce a similarly strong performance over the longer distance, he could well finish in the top 3.

The new track at the stunning Stade de France provides a fitting setting for these champions to compete in, while the field events ensure there is something for everyone.

Hotels-paris.co.uk has a selection of marvellous cheap hotels across Paris, which would serve as an ideal base for any spectators. In particular, Helvetia is a popular well-run establishment offering excellent value for money.
