2025 Diamond League Series to Kick Off in Xiamen

Posted : 03 October 2024

The 2025 Diamond League series is set to kick off in Xiamen on April 26, according to organizers' announcement on Wednesday. This upcoming season will see the prestigious athletics circuit facing competition from a new and lucrative format in the U.S., which has raised concerns about retaining top talent and audience interest.

 

In response to the financial challenge posed by the newly established Grand Slam Track series, backed by Olympic champion Michael Johnson, Diamond League organizers have increased the prize money for the upcoming season. The Grand Slam Track series promises to feature high-stakes head-to-head competitions and has already enlisted several star athletes from the recent Paris Olympics, including Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the women's 400m hurdles champion.

 

For the 2025 season, the Diamond League will offer a total prize fund of $9.24 million, while the Grand Slam Track series boasts an even more substantial prize pool of $12.6 million. This financial incentive reflects the ongoing efforts to attract elite athletes to participate in both series, as the competition for their participation intensifies.

 

The Diamond League will consist of 15 meetings, culminating in a two-day final in Zurich scheduled for August 27-28. The calendar for the series includes events in various global cities, with meetings planned in Shanghai, Doha, Rome, and London, among others, providing a platform for top athletes to showcase their talents throughout the season.
