The record holder and Polish champion in the 1500 m race will compete with the talented 19-year-old Ethiopian Birke Haylom, whose personal best is 3:53.22, and her compatriot Hirut Meshesha, Kenyan Susan Ejore, Frenchwoman Agathe Guillemot and British Katie Snowden. All of these athletes have better results than Lizakowska. The women's 1500 m race will start at 22:49 and will be the last competition of the meeting.

Rak started the season by breaking his personal best in the 600 m - 1.18.63. Then, like Lizakowska, he participated in the Kusociński and Szewińska memorials. In Chorzów he ran 800 m in 1.46.64, and in Bydgoszcz 1500 m in 3.35.22.

In the indoor season, the 22-year-old won two gold medals at the national championships and in the summer he will also fight for the title of the best Polish runner in the 1,500 m distance.

In Rome, the favorite in the 1500 m race will be Olympic vice-champion Timothy Cheruiyot. The Kenyan has won the Diamond League general classification four times in his career. Others competing at the Stadio Olimpico include his compatriot Brian Komen, European indoor vice-champion Azeddine Habz from France, Australian Oliver Hoare and Briton Elliot Giles.
