Held on 18 June 2022 at the Stade Sébastien Charléty, it was the seventh leg of the 2022 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit.
This was the third time the meeting was held on the stadium's renovated blue running track.
It was 94 °F (34 °C) at the start of the meet, making for unusually hot conditions that favored sprinting.
The meeting was highlighted by Winfred Yavi running 8:56 to become the 4th-fastest 3000 metres steeplechase runner of all time, and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce winning the 100 metres in a 10.67 world lead.
