It’s been 15 years since the Wanda Diamond League has been created, and 2025 will see a number of changes. This season will present a new and improved prize money, a new broadcast partner and, a new website in the coming weeks. There are also new competitor competitions in the form of Grand Slam Track and Athlos.
Instead of athletes and up to $ 30,000 in separate athletes in separate meetings of the Personal Diamond League, these figures are growing $ 20,000 and $ 50,000, respectively, selected subjects called Diamond + Events.
Some believe that the diamond league did it as a response to Grand Slam Track, offering generous prizes to $ 10,000 to $ 10,000. But it denies the chief executive officer of the Diamond League.
“The increase in our prize money is not a response to any new project,” says “Kasastin”. “We knew that five years ago we would raise the prize amount in 2025.
“It simply came to our notice then. As we were founded or invested, in 2010 we handed about $ 200 million to athletes. “

World Athletics President SEB Council comments Mirror, “Stastrik” welcome “Grand Slam Track” and Athlos initiatives. “It’s good to see that athletes get more opportunities to get more income,” he said. “Being the best athlete is a very focus, discipline and practice, and they deserve to be paid well.”
However, he says that the clashes are not ideal. The second meeting of Grand Slam in Miamnami coincides with May 3 in China in Shanghai in 2025 in China in China, 1525.
“We usually first define our dates and it allows other organizers to search for other non-collisions dates,” says the spark. “We welcome new projects, but we do not welcome the dates clashes, unfortunately, they seem to happen in 2025.”
STASTNY admits that it was minimal communication between Diamond League and Grand Slam Track on combat collisions. “We are not approaching others, and they are not approaching us. We feel that it can do it, but we do not feel that we need to ask our dates. “

The spark says that the diamond league has worked closely with world athletics, but this season will see this summer summer championship in Tokyo this season this year.
“We support the new calendar,” he said. “Diamond League Champions will receive a wild card to Tokyo so that it creates history through the season.”
Alternatively, the diamond league IMG passed to a broadcaster. Programs are also soon to start a new Diamond League website, which, among other things, will try to simplify the continued frustration that felt by the fans of how and where to watch the meetings.
However, there are no plans that have expanded the current events of street athletics at the Diamond League matches. Thur in Yurich on the first day of the two-day final, for example, will see some jumps and shots in the city center, the next day, in Lengignund stadium.

“We love to bring athletics to the people and see that these events are mainly an advertising tool,” said the spark. “But they can be costly to organize so that we will probably continue to have some of the city’s events during three or four matches, such as Zurich, Lausanne and Stockholm.
In 2025, there would be no attempts. But Castney does not decide to be used in the Diamond League in the future.

“Our sport is traditional and historic, but over time we have to grow, otherwise we will still jump without a runway and a long jump,” he said. “He says.” He said. “In fact, we don’t want all long jumps to try to be with red flags at the stadium, or every time breaks on TV.”
The spark makes comparisons with the idea of ”Final Three”, which was presented to bring more drama to field events, but it was criticized to start with the critics before the rules.
“There was a real disgraceful storm and resistance, when we introduced the” final three “idea.” Steadily says “Kasastin”, but we talked to athletes and coaches, and they got used to it.
“So I think that if new elements are presented, people learn it. If in 2026 we present it (download zone) will depend on how many jumps are or not legal or not.
“We don’t have it during our meetings, but we can in the future. We must first wait for the assessment of the global athletics of the 2024 season.
