After an intense Paris Olympics, all eyes turn to the Lausanne Diamond League. The stars of Paris 2024 are ready to compete in the event, kicking off on Wednesday, August 21.

The Diamond League is an annual series of track and field meets across 16 venues worldwide. Starting in 2024, the series will expand to 15 events. Lausanne’s leg, known as Athletissima, was once a top-five Super Grand Prix event and is now a key part of the Diamond League.

The 2024 season will be the 15th edition of the Diamond League, and it starts slightly early; overall champions will only get two days in Brussels (BEL). That gap in the schedule from late July to late August is because of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The main event will start on Wednesday, August 21st. The game will begin with the Men’s Polo Vault. With Lausanne as the host of the Diamond League, the 22nd is Day 2 scheduled with a packed program for every track and field fan.
