The 29-year-old Jamaican, who retained her Olympic 100m and 200m titles in Tokyo last summer, clocked 7.08sec at the weekend in the sixth of seven scheduled World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meetings - and will be seeking a sub-7.00 performance in the Copernicus Cup.

Thompson-Herah, who has yet to win a world title indoors or out, added that her performance tomorrow would help her decide whether to contest the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Belgrade that will be held from March 18 to 20.

"I was hoping to dip below seven seconds [in Birmingham], but it didn't work out,” said Thompson-Herah, who ran her 60m personal best of 6.98 in 2017.

"With heats and a final in Toruń, I think that will help me to get below the seven seconds I am hoping for."

Swoboda, who ran 7.10 at the ISTAF indoor meeting in Düsseldorf yesterday, will relish running on a home track once again having run a national record of 7.00 in Łódź earlier this month.

Also in the frame will be Britain’s Daryll Neita, who ran a personal best of 7.11 behind Thompson-Herah in Birmingham, and Switzerland's Ajla Del Ponte, who won the European indoor title in Toruń last year.

Meanwhile Gudaf Tsegay, whose hopes of breaking the women’s world indoor mile record at the third Indoor Tour Gold meeting of the season in Liévin were ended by a first-lap fall - although she got up to win - has the chance of making a similar impact over 1500m, where she took two seconds off the world record of fellow Ethiopian Gezahegne Dibaba at last year’s Liévin meeting.

Three world-class Ethiopian talents will play it again in the men’s 3,000m, with potentially record-breaking effect.

Olympic 10,000m champion Selemon Barega, Lamecha Girma and Getnet Wale - the latter two respectively second and fourth in the Tokyo 2020 3,000m steeplechase - produced a highly competitive race in Liévin that was more about tactics than times, with Girma winning.

But as they come together again they may go down the route they chose in Liévin last year, where Wale narrowly beat Barega in a race that elevated them to second and third on the all-time list behind the 1998 world record of 7min 24.90sec set by Kenya’s Daniel Komen.

The women’s 800m will feature Uganda’s world champion Halimah Nakaayi and Catriona Bassett, who ran an Australian indoor record of 1:59.16 in chasing home Britain’s Olympic silver medallist Keely Hodgkinson as she ran the fastest indoor time recorded for 20 years, 1:57.20, at Birmingham.

The men's 800m will feature Elliot Giles of Britain, second on the all-time list after his 1:43.63 clocking on this same track last year, and the Kenyan who beat him in Birmingham, setting a personal best of 1:45.39, Collins Kipruto.

Olympic 400m hurdles bronze medallist Femke Bol of The Netherlands, already second on this season’s 400m listings with 50.72sec, will face a field in the latter event including compatriot Lieke Klaver and Poland’s European 400m champion Justyna Święty-Ersetic.
