Shanghai Diamond League meet nixed due to virus
Print Edition
The Shanghai Diamond League and a second meeting in China in August will not take place due to strict travel restrictions and quarantine rules in place for entry into the country amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the league said yesterday.
It added in a statement that organizers of the two events, which were scheduled to take place on August 14 and August 22, are exploring if they can stage exhibition meets after the series finishes with the Diamond League Final in Zurich on September 8-9. “Due to the combination of travel restrictions and strict quarantine requirements in place for entry into China, as well as the Olympic Games and other Diamond League meetings, these events are not able to be rescheduled into a busy summer program,” the league said in a statement. It added that the 2021 calendar is subject to further changes depending on the global health situation. The Shanghai Diamond League was among a number of meetings canceled last year.
