How to follow the IAAF Diamond League Final in Zurich

By admin 0

Sixteen IAAF Diamond League champions will be crowned on Thursday (24) at the Weltklasse in Zurich, the first of two 2017 IAAF Diamond League finals.

In all, 17 freshly-minted world champions and 14 reigning Olympic champions will be on the slate before a sell-out crowd of 25,000 at Zurich’s Letzigrund Stadium. In eight events, the two will be going head-to-head as they battle for the Diamond Trophy and each discipline’s US$50,000 winner’s check in a new championships-style format introduced this year.

Athletes competing in Zurich –and those who will compete in the remaining 16 Diamond disciplines in Brussels on Friday 1 September– earned their spots in the finals by accumulating points at the 12 IAAF Diamond League meetings leading up to the two finals where the winners of each Diamond discipline will be crowned the 2017 series’ champions.

In all, US$ 3.2 million will be at stake in the 32 finals in Zurich and Brussels, with $100,000 on offer in each discipline.
