He will test himself against Thompson of Jamaica, who lost the gold medal to Noah Lyles by five-thousandths of a second, and Kerley, who won a bronze.
Former world champion Christian Coleman and former Olympic champion Marcell Jacobs will also be competing.
Omanyala, who is still one of the fastest men in the world in 2024, will be looking to get back to winning ways against the big boys.
So far, he has participated in a Diamond League race. On May 25, he clocked 9.98 seconds to finish second behind Coleman in Eugene. Can he beat the Olympic medallists this time at the Silesia Diamond League?
At the Olympics, he finished a distant eighth in the third semi-final in 10.08 seconds, a disappointing result considering he was the second-fastest man at the Games.

The 28-year-old clocked 9.95 seconds in the first round before winning the first final in 10.00 seconds at the Josko Laufmeeting in Austria.
TUKO.co.ke also reported that American sprinter Noah Lyles won the gold medal in the men's 100m by the narrowest of margins.
