ATHLETICS World Athletics boss fires back at Noah Lyles over controversial Athlete of the Year Awards decision
World Athletics president Sebastian Coe has responded to American sprint king Noah Lyles over his criticism of the decision to split the 2023 World Athlete of the Year awards
The season begins in Xiamen on April 20, with the men’s 100m and 800m, women’s 1,500m among the headline events. Each discipline will then be staged at least four and up to eight times on the Road to the Final, giving athletes from across the globe enough opportunities to earn points.
Two meetings will be held at a different location in 2024 due to stadium renovation works in their usual locations. The Meeting International Mohammed VI will move from Rabat to Marrakech, while the Diamond League Shanghai will take place in Suzhou.
The 14 series meetings will each take place in a two-hour TV world programme and will all stage at least 14 Diamond Disciplines. The Diamond League Final in Brussels will be the only meeting to feature every single discipline, with all 32 Diamond League champions crowned over the course of two days.
