The Wanda Diamond League is the premier annual series of elite track and field athletics competitions, organized by World Athletics. It’s considered the top tier of one-day meet competitions in the sport.

Here’s a breakdown of what it is:

Annual Series: It runs annually, typically from April to September, featuring a series of meetings around the world.
Elite Competition: It brings together many of the world’s top track and field athletes who compete in various disciplines, including sprints, middle and long-distance races, hurdles, jumps (high jump, long jump, triple jump, pole vault), and throws (shot put, discus, javelin).
Point-Based System: Athletes earn points based on their performance (placement) at each of the series meetings. These points accumulate throughout the season.
Road to the Final: The accumulated points determine which athletes qualify for the prestigious Wanda Diamond League Final, held at the end of the season.
Winner-Takes-All Final: At the final, the winners of each discipline are crowned Wanda Diamond League champions. They receive a Diamond Trophy, prize money, and often a wildcard entry to the World Athletics Championships.
Global Reach: The series crosses four continents and multiple countries, aiming to enhance the worldwide appeal of athletics.
Wanda Group Sponsorship: The “Wanda” in Wanda Diamond League comes from the Wanda Group, a Chinese conglomerate that became the title sponsor in 2019, signing a ten-year agreement.
High Stakes: Athletes compete for prestige, significant prize money (which has increased for 2025), and a chance to set world records. Many world records have been broken at Diamond League meetings.
