  • 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.

    Jelimo wins Golden League jackpot, Bolt wins again 09:37, September 06, 2008 Kenya's Olympic champion Pamela Jelimo took away the IAAF Golden League's one-million- U.S.-dollar jackpot Friday night in Brussels, after winning women's 800-meter race in one minute 55.16 seconds. Jelimo, 18, was a clear winner in the race, comfortably beating compatriot Janeth Jepkosgei into second place, who finished with one minute 58.85 seconds. Kenia Sinclair of Jamaica was third with one minute 59.11 seconds. Croatian high jumper Blanka Vlasic, who could have shared the jackpot with a win, only managed second place. German Ariane Friedrich won the gold, and Olympic Champion Tia Hellebaut finished third. All the three women cleared the height of 2 meters. Meanwhile, Jamaica made a clean sweep of medals in men's 100 meters at the last leg of the Golden League held at the King Baudouin Stadium. Three-time sprint Olympic Champion and world record holder Usain Bolt beat Asafa Powell to win the 100 meters in 9.77 seconds. Powell came in second in 9.83 seconds, and Nesta Carter was third in 10.07 seconds. In women's pole vault competition, Olympic and world champion Yelena Isinbaeva of Russia won with a moderate clearance of 4.72 meters, ahead of Monika Pyrek of Poland and Tatyana Polnova of Russia. In other events, local favorite and European champion Kim Gevaert won women's 100 meters in 11.25 seconds, ahead of Debbie Ferguson of Bahamas in 11.32 seconds and American Me'Lisa Barber in11.37 seconds.
