Diamond League Final: Highlights

The first big event on Thursday will be the Final of the Pole Vault at 19.45 which will see Mondo Duplantis probably attempt to beat his own World Record of 6.26m, set at the Diamond League meeting in August in Silesia, Poland. Duplantis has broken the world record three times in 2024 and the bookies will be unlikely to bet against the Swede achieving his fourth world record in Brussels.

The top two women sprinters, Sha'Carri Richardson and Julien Alfred meet up for a third head-to head battle in the 100m final in Brussels at 21.01. Richardson came out on top in their last meeting in Zurich but Alfred took the race that mattered the most, the 100m at the Olympics.

Another man who broke a world record in Silesia, Jakob Ingebrigsten, will be contesting a red-hot 1550m final at 21.29 on Thursday. Ingebrigsten broke the 3000m world record in Poland, a record that had stood for nearly twenty-eight years. Also, contesting the 1500m will be Olympicd Gold Medallist, Cole Hacker and the man who beat Ingebrigsten over this distance in Zurich, Yared Nuguse.

On Friday, triple Olympic Champion Ryan Crouser will face up yet again with Joe Kovacs at 19.32, who has won the last two Diamond League Finals. Kovacs has the longest throw in the world this year but Crouser outpointed his old rival by 75cm in the Olympic Final in Paris.

In the Women's 1500m, Faith Kipyegon is gunning for an amazing fifth Diamnd League title at 20.54 and this comes after breaking the 1500m world record in Paris and then taking her third Olympic Gold at the distance.

The Diamond League: How Does It Work?

At each of the 14 series Diamond League meetings, Athletes are awarded 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 points for ranking 1st to 8th respectively. The top 6 in the field events, top eight for 100m-800m and the top 10 for 1500m and long distances will qualify for the Final. In case of a tie, the best legal performance of the qualification phase wins.

The winner of each Diamond Discipline at the Final will become "Diamond League Champion" and be awarded a Diamond Trophy, USD 30'000 prize money and a wild card for the World Athletics Championships (certain conditions apply).

There are thirteen meetings in a full Diamond League season and for the events at each meeting athletes are awarded points valuing from eight to one for finishing first to eighth respectively. The athletes that accrue the most points over the course of the season will qualify for the Diamond League Final. 

The winner of each event at the Diamond League Final will become the ‘Diamond League Champion’ for that year. He or she will win $30,000 prize money and earn a wild card for the World Athletics Championships, depending on certain conditions.

After the penultimate Diamond League meeting in Brussels, the finalists will be known and a start time for each event will be added here. Previous point totals are wiped at this stage and the winner of the Final will be crowned Champion in each event.
