The Diamond League is an annual series of track and field competitions held across various global venues. In 2024, the series features 15 events throughout the season.
The Lausanne leg of the Diamond League, also known as Athletissima, was previously one of the five IAAF Super Grand Prix events. However, now it comes under the Diamond League series.
Several stars from the Paris Olympics, including Indian javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, will be participating with the aim of clinching the top spot. In his last appearance at the Diamond League in 2023, Chopra earned a silver medal.
The Indian thrower missed out on the gold medal at the Paris Olympics 2024. However, a good show in Lausanne will earn him a spot in the top six throwers who will qualify for the Diamond League final to be held in Brusells September 13-14, 2024.
Currently, Chopra is in fourth place in the 2024 Diamond League men's javelin throw rankings with seven points, trailing Jakub Vadlejch of the Czech Republic (14 points), Anderson Peters of Grenada (13 points), and Julian Weber of Germany (8 points).
Pakistan's Arshad Nadeem, who won the gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics with a record-breaking throw of 92.97 meters, will also be competing in Lausanne. The 200m Paris Olympics champion Letsile Tebogo will also seek the diamond crown.
