Double Olympic champion Elaine Thompson has been confirmed to contest the 60 meters at the Müller Indoor Grand Prix Glasgow, the final IAAF World Indoor Tour meeting of 2018.

The February 25 event will see Thompson confirmed alongside the likes of double world silver medallist Marie-Josée Ta Lou, Dutchwoman Dafne Schippers, the world 200m champion, and Dina Asher-smith of great Britain.

Thompson, who in Rio became the first ever female Jamaican to win both the 100metres and 200metres at an Olympic games will be intent on a strong start to 2018 following a shock fifth-place finish over 100m at the IAAF World Championships London 2017

Ta Lou enjoyed a double podium breakthrough at London 2017, claiming silver medals in both the 100metres and 200metres, and is sure to push Thompson, Schippers and Asher-Smith all the way in Glasgow.
