Neeraj Chopra and Eldhose Paul will be India's representatives in the tournament.

One of the leading World Athletics competitions, Diamond League 2023, is all set to begin with its season-opener beginning in Doha, Qatar. The Doha Diamond League 2023 will take place on May 5. The Diamond League will have fourteen stops, with the final event taking place on September 16 and 17 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, in the United States. This will be the first time an edition of the Diamond League will have a final stop in the USA. The Diamond League 2023 will also feature a stop in China’s Shenzhen where the games will be making their debut.

Since every leg of the Diamond League offers points for the big final, many elite athletes from all over the world compete in these legs in order to secure themselves a position in the prestigious final. Likewise, the Doha Diamond League 2023 will also feature many Worlds and Olympics medalists like Shericka Jackson, Fred Kerley, Michael Norman, Katerina Stefanidi, Neeraj Chopra, Anderson Peters, Dina Asher-Smith, and more. With the presence of these world-class athletes, the Doha Diamond League 2023 is all set to witness some record-breaking performances.

The women’s 100-meter event will be extremely challenging as Jamaican superstar and the second-fastest woman Jackson, British sensation Asher-Smith, and American rising star Sha’carri Richardson will battle it out for the top spot. However, with the presence of Melissa Jefferson and Abby Steiner, the platform might also witness an upset in the women’s race.

Similarly, the men’s 200m race will see some of the best sprinters of the world as the 2020 Olympic champion Andre De Grasse, the reigning World champion Fred Kerley, the Olympics and Worlds silver medalist Kenny Bednarek and Olympics 2020 400m champion Michael Norman will be marking their presence.

Indians participating at Doha Diamond League 2023

Reigning Olympics champion in the men’s javelin throw, Neeraj Chopra, will be defending his title at the Diamond League 2023. He will start his 2023 campaign with the season-opener Doha Diamond League 2023. However, the 25-year-old will face stiff competition from the World Athletics Championships 2022 gold medalist Anderson Peters, the Olympics silver and Worlds bronze medalist Jakub Vadlejch, and the European Championships 2022 champion Julian Weber.

Another Indian athlete, Eldhose Paul, the Commonwealth Games 2022 gold medalist in the men’s triple jump will also be competing in the Doha Diamond League 2023. However, the challenge for the 26-year-old Paul will be tough as he battles it out against the likes of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics champion Pedro Pichardo and the USA’s Christian Taylor, whose personal best of 18.21 m places him second on the list of all-time best jumps.
