Track And Field's Diamond League Getting Championship-Style Makeover

The Diamond League will have two end-of-season finals with a prize pool of $3.2M "following changes to the structure of the competition announced by the International Association of Athletics' Federations," according to Simon Jennings of REUTERS. Under the new format, athletes will earn points in the first 12 league meetings of the season to qualify for the finals in Zurich or Brussels, where $100,000 "will be up for grabs in each of the 32 disciplines," including $50,000 for each winner. IAAF President Sebastian Coe said, "After seven seasons which have established the IAAF Diamond League as our premier circuit it is important to assess its impact and build for the future. These decisions are the first step to growing the attractiveness of the series" (REUTERS, 12/7).
