Hello and welcome to Khel Now’s live blog for the Diamond League Finals 2024. Please wait for the blog to load.

After 15 action-packed events on the track and field in the past five months, Diamond League Finals 2024 is set to start soon. The season finale will see the top athletes in over 14 events aiming for the Diamond League Finals 2024 title. There will be 14 events each in the men’s and women’s field.

The Memorial Van Damme meeting will see world and Olympic champions collide in multiple events. The Diamond League 2024 Finals will take place over two days, as fans can see various records being set at Brussels. The women’s discus throw will be the first event, while the women’s 400m hurdles is expected to be the last event.

The sprint events will see a rematch of the Paris Olympic finals as 200m men’s champion, Letsile Tebogo will take on six American sprinters. Tebogo has won his last six 200m races and will be looking to capture his first Diamond League Finals title. 

In the women’s 100m, Julian Afred will look to avenge her defeat to Sha’Carri Richardson at Zurich. The Olympic champion lost by four hundredths of a second to the American on September 5. This time, Alfred will hope to reclaim her crown in the event.

The women’s high jump could see Yaroslava Mahuchikh extend her winning streak. The same goes for Mondo Duplantis in the men’s pole vault. Both athletes have continued to defy the limits by outclassing their rivals.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone will be racing in non-Diamond League 200m and 400m events. She could end the season with sensational performances on the track.

Indian fans will be cheering for two of their athletes who will be seen during the Diamond League Finals 2024. Avinash Sable will be one of the 12 athletes competing in the men’s 3000m steeplechase. After the 3000m steeplechase event, the fans will witness the roar of Neeraj Chopra in the men’s pole vault.
