Athletics: Armand Duplantis among the top names that decide for the diamond league through the new Grand Slam series
Armand ‘Mondo’ Duplantis heads of star cast athletes hitting 16. Diamond League Season in Xiamen on Saturday in the middle of changing the landscapes who saw Michael Johnson.
25-year-old Swede, who was Last night called the highest male athletes on the prestigious Lauraus World Sports RewardsIt will have the next opportunity to stop their own treasury world record, which is currently standing at 6.27 m.
The victory described as “great honor”, before moving to the cinema for the Diamond League.
Petr Starnyny, director of the Diamond League, insisted that he greeted the competition, but he thought that he was a 15-metic circle that oversaw Global Athletics, with a record of $ 9.2 million in the offer of $ 9.2 million.
“You will receive the most accurate coverage at the highest possible level of competition in our sport, in the track and field. Large arenas, great big crowds,” Streastny said.
The former American Sprint Star Johnson founder is the Grand Slam Trade, who debuted in Kingston earlier this month.
Conceived by Johnson as a way of reinvigorating interests in athletics outside the Olympic years, his series with four events aims to view more races between the world’s best racers, sprinters and obstacles. There are no Polish events.
“We feel strong that sport is more than just and we will continue to grow sports, not just a part of the sport,” Strostny said. “We see that other events and series are established around us, which we are looking at, in general, happy.
“But we are the backbone of sports between the main championships, including the Olympic Games. We have tracking and field, it is one. We are truly global.
“With one event in Jamaica and three in the United States I think it depends on how you define global,” he said about Grand Slam series.
“I see a significant difference. To be truly global means that you have athletes from a lot of countries and so far we have in a diamond league – athletes from 142 countries competing.
While the athletes in Kingston served some high-quality performance, Johnson opening failed to catch the imagination of the viewers, with blanks of empty seats at the national stadium on all three days of the competition.
There is also the absence of several high athletes, including Olympic male and female 100m Champions Noah Lyles and Julien Alfred, among 48 runners contracted, with $ 30 million in financing.
Their absence suggests that it will soon be searching for their trade in the diamond league circle, with a long season containing encounters that are often sold by completing the World Championship in September in Tokyo.
Meet Second Series will be between 2. to 4. May in Miami before rounding in Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
Stastny said that “competition is well, we welcome that,” he complains, however, to meet Miami directly with the season.
“What we would like to avoid is the day conflict with the Grand Slam Trade,” he added.
