The history of the Wanda Diamond League
The history of the Wanda Diamond League is relatively recent, but it represents the highest level of annual professional track and field competition.
Here is a breakdown of its history:
- Inaugural Season (2010): The Diamond League was officially launched in 2010, replacing the IAAF Golden League, which had been running annually since 1998. The goal was to create a more globally expansive and consistently high-quality series of meets.
- Early Names and Organization:
- It was initially known as the IAAF Diamond League. (IAAF was the former name of World Athletics).
- For a period (2011 to 2013), it was known as the Samsung Diamond League due to a title sponsorship agreement.
- The Format: The series was designed as a season-long competition across multiple international track and field meetings. Athletes compete in various disciplines to earn points throughout the season (“Road to the Final”) and qualify for a single, winner-takes-all Final meet, where the season champions (Diamond Trophy winners) are crowned.
- Becoming the Wanda Diamond League (2020): In December 2019, an agreement was announced with the Chinese conglomerate Wanda Group for a title sponsorship. This led to the series being officially renamed the Wanda Diamond League starting with the 2020 season. The sponsorship agreement is for a ten-year term.
- Evolution of the Series: Over the years, the number of meetings, the points system, and the specific disciplines have seen minor adjustments to optimize the competition and fan experience, but the core “Road to the Final” format has remained. The Diamond League is now comprised of 14-15 of the world’s most prestigious one-day athletics meetings, crossing four continents.
In short, the Wanda Diamond League is the modern evolution of elite track and field, establishing itself as the premier annual series outside of major championships like the Olympics and World Championships.
