After seven seasons which have established the IAAF Diamond League as the sport’s premier circuit, the series returns for an eighth year with some major changes. In previous seasons, athletes accumulated points throughout the season with the overall winner of each discipline being the athlete with the most points, irrespective of whether they won the final. The season is now a race to reach the finals with the winners crowned as IAAF Diamond League champions. Athletes will earn points in the first 12 IAAF Diamond League meetings to qualify for two final meetings. As in a championship, the performance of athletes in the final alone will determine who the champion will be and the prize money won. $100,000 will be at stake in each of the 32 Diamond disciplines, including $50,000 for each winner and a stunning Diamond Trophy. It means the IAAF Diamond League finals will now offer a dramatic showdown between the world’s best athletes, a true climax to a four-month race across four continents. Broadcast annually in approximately 160 countries, virtually the full spectrum of Olympic track and field disciplines are represented across the series with a combined total of US$8million on offer. The IAAF Diamond League will therefore set the scene for the world’s third-largest sporting event. In this year’s series, 11 meetings will take place in the months leading up to the IAAF World Championships London 2017, while Sebastian Coe the remaining three meetings will be held in the weeks that follow.

  • Journée Des Médias De L'athlétisme Suisse
    Communiqué de presse Swiss Athletics du mardi 25 mai 2021 Regard optimiste de Swiss Athletics sur l’été olympique Après une saison en salle réussie, un été de compétition de haut niveau s’annonce pour l’athlétisme suisse. Swiss Athletics attend avec confiance les Jeux olympiques de Tokyo et tous les autres moments forts. Jamais encore l’élite nationale n’a connu une aussi grande densité. L’athlétisme suisse connait le succès depuis des années. Cela s'est vérifié l'été dernier, lorsque de nombreux athlètes ont brillé par d’excellentes performances saluées au niveau international, malgré les conditions difficiles causées par la pandémie, mais aussi lors de la saison en salle de cette année, lorsque deux jeunes Suissesses, Ajla Del Ponte (US Ascona, 60 m) et Angelica Moser (LC Zurich, saut à la perche), ont été sacrées championnes d'Europe en salle. Swiss Athletics veut profiter de cet élan pendant la saison en plein air 2021, qui a déjà connu un début prometteur. Plusieurs athlètes ont rapidement fait preuve d’une très bonne forme, ce qui est très important, car la période de qualification pour les Jeux olympiques de Tokyo (JAP) prend fin le mardi 29 juin déjà. Swiss Athletics compte se rendre au Japon avec quelques 20 athlètes, comme l’a expliqué le directeur technique Philipp Bandi mardi à Ittigen à l’occasion de la journée des médias de l’athlétisme suisse. Au niveau de la relève, les CE U20 à Tallinn (EST/15 au 18 juillet) constituent le but principal. Les responsables de Swiss Athletics espèrent qu’European Athletics trouve un remplaçant pour organiser les CE U23 annulés à Bergen (NOR), car aussi bien les CE U20 que les CE U23 sont des événements très importants pour les jeunes athlètes en route vers le sommet européen ; ils leur permettent de s’affirmer en comparaison internationale.

  • IAAF Diamond League Media Information Guide 2013 Www
    IAAF Diamond League Media Information Guide 2013 www.diamondleague.com 1/37 INTRODUCTION With the creation of the IAAF Diamond League we set out to reinvent the one-day meeting structure of our sport, to bring clarity to the top tier circuit of international invitational competition which takes place outside the IAAF World Championships and Olympic Games. While there remain many challenges ahead if we are to make further advances and cement the IAAF Diamond League’s position as one of the world’s major sports series, we firmly believe that we have made an exceptionally good start in the first three years of the new competition structure. The IAAF Diamond League has a worldwide audience and a broadcasting reach undreamt by the Golden League series which preceded it. Thanks to a 14 meeting circuit which covers Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the USA, a competition programme that includes virtually the full spectrum of Olympic track and field disciplines, the guarantee of the world’s greatest athletes battling to win 8 Million Dollars in prize money, accumulating points season long to win their event’s Diamond Race Trophy, the IAAF Diamond League has captured the public’s imagination like no other non-championship athletics competition. I eagerly look forward to the 2013 season of the IAAF Diamond League which commences in Doha and concludes at the end of August and beginning of September with the finals in Zurich and Brussels. Lamine Diack IAAF President and Chairman of the Board of Diamond League AG 2/37 CONTENTS PAGE DESCRIPTION 1 Cover
