- Danielle Williams, the Jamaican hurdle sensation and 2023 World Champion in the 100m hurdles, will lead the field in the 60m hurdles. A two-time world champion, Williams is known for her prowess in hurdle events.
- In field events, Yaroslava Mahuchikh of Ukraine will feature in the high jump. Mahuchikh, the current world champion with a rich medal history, also holds the Ukrainian national records both indoors and outdoors.
