  3. What to watch out for in 2026 Diamond Leaguepublished at 06:19 BST 22 May

    Great Britain's Josh Kerr has already announced he will attempt to break the long-standing men's mile world record at the London Diamond League meeting this summer - and there is plenty more to look forward to.

    The London Athletics Meet will be a key date in the diary of many British stars, with a women's 200m showdown between relay team-mates Hunt, Dina Asher-Smith and Daryll Neita among the standout events.

    Before then, Hunt will test herself against Olympic 100m champion Julian Alfred and world 100m and 200m gold medallist Melissa Jefferson-Wooden in Rome.

    Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson has so far been confirmed for Diamond League meetings in Rome, Stockholm and Eugene - competing over 400m in the latter - following a record-breaking indoor season.

    Hodgkinson will go head-to-head with training partner Georgia Hunter Bell and reigning world 800m champion Lilian Odira at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene.

    After improving the pole vault world record for the 15th time by clearing 6.31 metres in March, the unstoppable Duplantis returns to Stockholm - where he set his first world record on home soil last year - with Paris, London and a city event in Lausanne also among his targets.

    Australia's teenage sensation Gout Gout will take on Olympic champion Tebogo over 200m in his Diamond League debut in Oslo, while Olympic 100m gold and silver medallists Noah Lyles and Kishane Thompson meet in Silesia.

  4. How does the Diamond League work?published at 06:19 BST 22 May

    Athletes compete for points across 32 Diamond League disciplines at the 14 regular series meetings in a bid to qualify for the finals in Brussels in September.

    After the 14th stop in Zurich in August, the top six athletes in field events, top eight in track events from 100m up to 800m, and top 10 in distances from 1500m upwards, will qualify for the finals.

    The two-day finals are a winner-takes-all showdown to be crowned Diamond League champion in each event.

    All Diamond League events will be shown on the BBC until 2030 after a new multi-year deal was agreed last year.

    The total prize money remains the same as 2025, when it was increased to $9.2m (£6.8m) - including $500,000 (£370,000) at each of the 14 series meetings, and $2.2m (£1.6m) at the Diamond League final.

    However, the prize money structure has been altered to provide higher earnings to the winners of eight selected 'Diamond+' disciplines' at each meet, which offer $20,000 (£14,800) at series meetings and up to $60,000 (£44,400) at the finals.
