The dual nature of this season’s launch means that all 32 Diamond Race disciplines will be contested this week between the two Asian legs of the IAAF Diamond League. The series will then continue later this month with the remaining 12 fixtures divided between the USA and various European countries.
Press conferences from both Doha and Shanghai – featuring a selection of the top athletes set to compete this week – will be streamed live on the IAAF Diamond League website the day before each competition.
