We have seen a great DL meet this year - Monaco - and a few really bad ones.

After Brussels, only meetings in Rome and Doha remain in calendar for this year, or I missed something?

I think that after Golden Gala and Doha the DL it's over. And obliviously no anyone will win a Diamond this season

I often agree, but this one was pretty normal. There were running events, which were all shown, and there were only two not very interesting field events, which were both shown in between. I really don't see the problem.

There were supposed to be two meets in China, but for some mysterious reason they found it difficult to make up a decent field....

Emma Zapletalová has been invited for the Rome meeting 17th September https://www.atletika.sk/sklamanu-a-smutnu-emmu-zapletalovu-po-pade-na-p-t-s-prebrala-sprava-ze-vo-stvrtok-pobezi-na-diamantovej-lige-v-rime/

 

The only 11th Slovak athlete to start in DL ever.  what a moment and nice reward for our rookie of the season for her great season

quite interesting DL meet tonight in Rome, even if they're using the smaller stadium with empty seats (which would take a lot off the atmosphere, as it would do the start earlier than usual...I like night meets more than those with the day light still on)...

 

international feed starts at 6.40 p.m. CET

Dutch good year continues - Klaver 50.98 PB in the 400m.

 

 

Warholm 47.07 in the 400h.  As usual, tiny hesitation on barrier 10.

 

Powerhouse men’s 3000m, NRs & PBs all the way down.

 

Duplantis over at 6.00 - guess what happens next.

Duplantis 6.15 WB!
