In 2024, he also won the World Indoor Championship before scoring Wanda Diamond League wins in Rome, and Zurich. He is a four-time Pre Classic champion.

Kovacs returns to the Pre Classic after winning in 2024 and 2023. He owns four Pre Classic titles, five World Outdoor Championship medals and two Diamond League trophies. He is also a three-time national champion.

In 2024, Kovacs was second at the U.S. Olympic Trials and second in Paris. He scored Wanda Diamond League wins at the Pre Classic and Silesia.

Jamaica's Rajindra Campbell returns to the Pre Classic after finishing third at the 2024 Paris Olympics. In 2024, Campbell threw eight of his top 10 marks ever. His bronze in Paris was his first ever Olympic medal.
