The Diamond Race

How it works

Each of the disciplines is staged seven times with the top three Athletes being awarded the same amount of points at each meeting with the exception of the Final where the points are doubled. The AVIVA London Grand Prix with 27 disciplines on two days counts as one meeting. 

1st  place             4 points (Final: 8 points)

2nd  place            2 points (Final: 4 points)

3rd  place            1 point (Final: 2 points)

The Athlete with the highest number of points in each discipline at the end of the Samsung Diamond League season wins "The Diamond Race”. In case of equality on points, the number of victories decides, if there still is a tie, the better result at the Final decides. For an athlete to win a Diamond race and its associated prize, he / she must compete in a bona fide way in the final (Zurich or Brussels) of their event discipline.
