James, Merritt to renew 400m rivalry

Olympic champion Kirani James will try to build on his sizzling Shanghai performance when he leads a talent-loaded 400m field Saturday at the Prefontaine Classic Diamond League athletics meeting.

James, who became Grenada's first Olympic medallist in any sport when he won the 400m gold in London last year, clocked the best time in the world this year of 44.02sec at the IAAF Diamond League stop in Shanghai on May 18.In Shanghai, he got the better of 2008 Olympic gold medallist LaShawn Merritt, leaving the American out for revenge on home soil. Merritt, who has struggled back from a doping ban disgrace, didn't contend in London, where he was injured in the heats.

He'll get a chance to test himself against the top five finishers from London: James, silver medallist Luguelin Santos of Dominican Republic, bronze medallist Lalonde Gordon of Trinidad and Tobago, veteran Chris Brown of the Bahamas and Belgium's Kevin Borlee.

Although the 34-year-old Brown was shut out of the medals in the individual race, he led the Bahamas to 4x400m relay gold in London.
