From Mondo Duplantis' sizzling 6.16m jump in Stockholm to Marie-Josée Ta Lou's tears at the African record in Monaco, the 2022 Wanda Diamond League season delivered a number of iconic images which will go down in the annals of athletics' most prestigious one-day meeting series.
Over the holiday season, we've been out to crown the very best photograph of the year, with dozens of photographers entering their favourite snap from the 13 Diamond League meetings.
After narrowing it down to a shortlist of ten photos, we put the final decision to a vote, combining the results of an internal panel of experts with those of social media users on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
