The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact global sports events, with the Wanda Diamond League the latest to make adjustments to its 2020 calendar.

Originally scheduled for October 9th, the Doha Diamond League has been brought forward to September 25th, in a move that reflects the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the global health situation.

World Athletics has confirmed that the 2020 Wanda Diamond League calendar remains provisional and subject to further changes, due to the ever-changing COVID-19 regulations.

Despite these challenges, the competitive season is set to begin in Monaco on August 14th, following exhibition events in Oslo and Zurich earlier this summer.

As a result of the changes, athletes will not earn Diamond League points this season, and there will not be a single, 24-discipline final in Zurich as originally planned.
