The 2016 edition of the IAAF Diamond League gets underway on Friday in Doha (6) and is followed by a meeting in Shanghai on Saturday May 14, providing an outstanding curtain-raiser to this year’s series.
Once again, the series of 14 meetings are each offering US$480,000 in prize money and the IAAF Diamond League showcases 32 event disciplines which are carefully distributed among the meetings.
In each of the event disciplines, there is a ?Diamond Race? with points available throughout the season.
The overall winner of each of the 32 Diamond Races will receive a US$40,000 cash prize and a spectacular Diamond Trophy.
Combine the individual meeting prize money with the Diamond Race cash, and the IAAF Diamond League is offering a total of US$8 million in prize money in 2016.
