Tinch headlines the field as one of the most explosive talents in the event. The reigning world champion has not competed in the hurdles since the Millrose Games after shifting his focus to the long jump for the remainder of the indoor season. Now back over the barriers, all eyes will be on how quickly he can return to form outdoors. Tinch’s combination of raw speed, aggression, and hurdling efficiency makes him one of the most dangerous athletes in the world whenever he steps on the track.

Orlando Bennett enters the meet with momentum of his own. The 2025 World Championships silver medalist has already posted a season’s best of 13.33 and will be looking to continue building consistency early in the year. When Bennett is clean technically, he has proven he can challenge anyone in the world.

Meanwhile, Muratake arrives with the fastest season’s best in the field at 13.05. The Japanese star continues to establish himself as one of the premier hurdlers on the global stage and could be poised for another breakthrough performance in Shanghai.
