Ackera Nugent; the national record holder, is expected to compete in the Diamond League. This tournament will happen in Switzerland.

The Jamaican will be remembered for reaching the final at the Olympics. Unfortunately, she hit the first hurdle and this stopped her from finish the race.
The sprint star said that she is excited to make her debut in the Diamond League.
“I have waited for an opportunity to showcase my skills in the Diamond League.

I am ready to settle into the Diamond League because I foresee a long future in this tournament.”
Nugent is also scheduled to compete in the Rome Golden Gala and the Silesia Diamond League. The events are expected to happen on Friday, August 30 and Sunday, August 25.
