100 Days to Go!

In exactly 100 days time, the 14th Wanda Diamond League season will get underway at the Qatar Sports Club in Doha, firing the starting gun on what promises to be the most action-packed year in the series’ history. 

Athletics’ premier one-day meeting circuit will break new ground in 2023. With 15 events in four different continents, it will be the biggest Diamond League since the series bega in 2010. The series final, meanwhile, is set to take place outside of Europe for the very first time at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon on September 17-18th. 

One of the headline events in Doha is set to be the women’s 100m, a discipline which delivered one stellar performance after another last year. Reigning Wanda Diamond League champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce will be eyeing a sixth Diamond Trophy in 2023 and can boast a strong record in Doha, having won there in 2013, 2014 and 2021. But with the likes of Shericka Jackson, Elaine Thompson-Herah and Aleia Hobbs also in brilliant form last season, defending her title will be no mean feat.

So with 100 days until the beginning of the season, we take a look back at the star-studded history of the 100m in the Diamond League.
