Ariès MERRITT, Olympic champion in 2012 and World record holder obtained the same here during IAAF Diamond League Meeting in Brussels, will face 2013 World Champion David Oliver, and also 2012 European champion Sergei SHUBENKOV. But all eyes will be turned on French Pascal MARTINOT-LAGARDE, silver medalist at the World Indoor Championships last March but also World leader this year with 13.12, established during these two victories at IAAF Diamond League meetings in Oslo and Eugene.
This year, the French is the uncontested leader of the event, but beware of the champions previously mentioned who will come to Monaco with the aim to shake up this hierarchy.
