DIAMOND LEAGUE TO DELIVER EXCITING CLASHES
The IAAf are pinning its hopes on its new diamond League to lift the profile of
the sport globally. Set to kick off in doha, Qatar on 14 May, the fourteen meet
series will operate on three continents: Asia, Europe and North America.
Each discipline will be offered for each gender on seven occasions throughout
the series, with athletes accumulating points in ‘The diamond Race’ for each
discipline, with the winner awarded a 4 carat diamond trophy. The IAAf have
done away with its inconsequential World Athletics final, instead making the
Weltklasse meet in Zurich and Memorial Van damme meet in brussels the
series finals, with performances scoring double points.
Additionally, the highest
profile stars of the sport
have been centrally
contracted by the IAAf to
participate, ensuring that
more head to head clashes
will occur: Usain bolt will
take on Tyson gay on at
least three occasions.
