Wanda Diamond League suspends early-season events

The Wanda Diamond League today announces changes to its 2020 season timetable in response to the growing global crisis around the new coronavirus.

Due to the growing number of countries affected by the COVID-19 virus, the first three meetings of the 2020 Wanda Diamond League season, scheduled for 17th  April in Qatar, 9th and 16th May 2020 in China, cannot be held as planned. This decision was made in close consultation with organizing committees, local authorities and sports governing bodies.

It is forbidden to enter Qatar from a number of countries and the government in Doha has suspended all national and international events for a period of 30 days. 

 It could be that they will be held after the Wanda Diamond League Final in Zurich from 9th through 11th September, where the Diamond League Champions will be crowned, should the global situation allow.
