Now in its seventh year, the IAAF Diamond League has firmly established itself as the sport’s leading non-championship competition. But, crucially, it also continues to evolve. Having covered Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the USA in its first six seasons, the IAAF Diamond League will, for the first time, extend to a new continental area in 2016: Africa. As of this year, the Meeting International Mohammed VI in Rabat will replace the New York Grand Prix. Also new in 2016 is a change to the scoring system.
