Diamond League athletics stages held in Lausanne and Rome
This weekend is packed with athletics action — a Diamond League stage takes place in Lausanne on Friday, followed by another in Rome on Sunday.
The Swiss city of Lausanne is hosting the 12th stage of this season's Diamond League in athletics. The event is being broadcast live, allowing fans to follow the action as it happens.
A busy weekend for athletics fans
Just one day after the Lausanne stage, athletics enthusiasts will have the chance to watch another major event — the 13th stage of the Diamond League will take place on Sunday in the Italian capital, Rome. This means two consecutive stages of the prestigious competition series will be held within a short span of time, giving this weekend a particularly intense feel among athletics followers.
The Diamond League stages form part of this season's overall calendar, in which athletes compete for points and standings in the overall ranking. Holding two stages so close together — within a single weekend — is an unusual occurrence that demands special physical and mental readiness from competitors, as only one day of rest separates the two events.
Specific results and participant details for both stages are expected to be confirmed as the competitions take place.
