The results of the Wanda Diamond League Stockholm
The 2026 BAUHAUS-Galan (Stockholm Diamond League) took place on Sunday, June 7, 2026, at the Stockholm Olympic Stadium. It was an historic day of athletics marked by a massive upset in the field and blisteringly fast times on the track.
Major Highlights
- The Streak is Broken: In one of the biggest shockwaves in modern track and field, Australian world bronze medalist Kurtis Marschall defeated home favorite Armand “Mondo” Duplantis in the pole vault. Marschall won with a 5.90m clearance, snapping Duplantis’ incredible 40-meet winning streak that had lasted nearly three years.
- Historic Women’s 800m: Switzerland’s Audrey Werro ran an astonishing, world-leading 1:53.98 to beat Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson (1:54.33). Werro became just the third woman in history to break the 1:54 barrier, setting a new Diamond League record.
- Sprints Resurgence: American world champion Melissa Jefferson-Wooden opened her 100m season with a dominant victory in 10.84 seconds.

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.
