About Diamond League
The Diamond League is a series of track and field competitions, held each year by the IAAF, the International Association of Athletics Federation. It began in 2010, replacing the previous Golden League, which was a purely European series of competitions - it was open to competitors around the world, but with the events only taking place in European locations. The Diamond League now includes events in Morocco, the United States, China and Qatar. Fans rush to buy sports tickets early to make sure they get to see each event.
Running from May to late August/early September each year, each individual event includes several races and contests, during which the contestants receive points for the position they finish in. Athletes with the most points at the end of the season qualify for the finals in Zurich and Brussels.
Previously, a different scoring system was used with points being given to the top three athletes only. Double points were on offer in the final two meetings of the season, and the athletes with the highest scores overall were named as the winners, noted as winning the Diamond Race. The new scoring system was implemented in 2017.
Last minute sports tickets for the final events can be hard to find as the competitors on show are the best of the best. The winners of the events in these finals are the IAAF Diamond League Champions.
When you buy sports tickets online, you’ll get to see the many branches that make up the Diamond League. These include races of between 100m and 5000m, 110m and 400m hurdles, 3000m steeplechase races, long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault, shot put, and discus and javelin events.
Not every branch is featured at every competition, and some sports may only be for men in one competition, and only for women in another. This keeps each event fresh and exciting, with no immediate repetitions, giving the athletes time to recuperate between events.
The country with the most event winners overall is the United States, followed by Kenya and Jamaica. However, the individual athlete with the most wins is Renaud Lavillenie, 7-time winner of the pole vault. Three athletes have won 6 titles split between 3 events.
Visiting sports tickets websites throughout the period of the Diamond League will allow you to buy tickets for the latest events, to see your favourite athletes, and support your country. There are often close races, new records being set, and plenty of fun and excitement for all involved.
