On your marks, set, go! The starter pistol sounds for the new season of the World Athletics track and field series.
The season-opener in Doha was postponed until June, so Shanghai/Keqiao is the start of the path to the Diamond League Finals in Brussels.
Among the elite athletes in attendance are three-time Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon, hurdling star Karsten Warholm, sprinting sensation Letsile Tebogo, rising star Gout Gout, and dominant pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis, who rarely misses an opportunity to break his own world record.
Great Britain are represented by Ben Pattison (800m), Lawrence Okoye (Discus), Amy Hunt (200m), Melissa Courtney-Bryant (5000m) and Revee Walcott-Nolan (5000m).
When the best athletes on the planet come together, there are usually fireworks. Saturday's season opener should be no different and UK fans can tune in for free.
