Diamond League gets new calendar as London nixed
Print Edition
The Diamond League announced a revamped athletics calendar after the London event on July 4-5 was cancelled yesterday due to the coronavirus outbreak, with the first event now provisionally set for Monaco in August.
The league said in a statement that “several events will be rescheduled, others cancelled as organizers continue to adapt the season in the face of the coronavirus crisis.” Meetings have been cancelled in London, Rabat and Zurich — which was originally scheduled to host the season finale in September — while world sport as a whole has seen countless events scrapped and seasons cut short due to the global pandemic. The Diamond League said that three athletics meetings would now be held in August: in Monaco (August 14), Gateshead in England (16), and Stockholm (23). Those would be followed by September meetings in Lausanne, Brussels, Paris, Shanghai and possibly Rome or Naples, and in October by meetings in Eugene in the United States, Doha and an unspecified Chinese venue. The entire calendar remains provisional, the League said, adding that each meeting organizers would review and announce the format of their competition and which disciplines will be included two months before the event takes place.
