Diamond League

The Diamond League is a series of races that is held during the summer(ish) months starting in 2010 (it replaced the Golden League). The "goal" of the meets is to increase the worldwide visibility/appeal of Track and Field. There are 32 events (16 male and 16 female) which are contested 7 times throughout the 14 meet series. The top three finishers are awarded 4 (first), 2 (second), and 1 (third) points, and these are doubled during the last meeting of the event. Whoever has the most points at the end wins "The Diamond Race" (and to be eligible for the event's prize, they must compete in the final). This year is an interesting year in terms of who's who because of the Olympics and all "interrupting". In any event, you can watch the latest and greatest on Universal Sports.
