Five WDL champions nominated for World Athlete of the Year 2023

Five Wanda Diamond League champions are in the running for the World Athlete of the Year award in 2023 after another record-breaking year in athletics’ premier one-day series. 

Earlier this week, World Athletics released the final list of nominees following a three-way voting process involving fans and experts. There are five finalists in each of the men’s and women’s award, all of whom achieved sensational performances across a range of disciplines in 2023. 

Four of the five finalists for the women’s award won the Wanda Diamond League title in 2023.
