The 2023 edition of the Wanda Diamond League Meeting de Paris was both exceptional and historic thanks to world records for Faith Kipyegon in the 5,000 m and Lamecha Girma in the 3,000 m steeplechase, as well as the world best performance ever for Jakob Ingebrigtsen over 2 miles. The 2024 vintage, due to take place less than a month before the start of the Paris Olympics, is set to be epic given the programme presented this Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The women\u2019s 100 m, a race where the Jamaicans and Americans have really been firing on all cylinders for a number of seasons, the men\u2019s 200 m, utterly dominated right now by the superstar Noah Lyles, and the men\u2019s pole vault, marked by a flurry of records by Mondo Duplantis and the rise to fame of Thibaut Collet, will be just some of the events to grip the attention of one and all. The men and women\u2019s 3,000 m steeplechase will also set the mood, with the potential for a number of records to tumble.<\/p>\n
Races where the Blues will play the leading roles<\/strong><\/p>\n The F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise d\u2019Athl\u00e9tisme (French Athletics Federation), event organiser, was eager to enable France\u2019s top athletes to reveal their true potential before a home crowd. And that is exactly what they\u2019ve done, with a series of unmissable events on the programme, including the men\u2019s 110 m hurdles, 400 m hurdles and 800 m, races in which the Blues intend to be the stars of the show. Out on the field, in addition to the men\u2019s pole vault, the women\u2019s discus is sure to be a showstopper as it has long since taken centre stage in metropolitan France thanks to the unstoppable M\u00e9lina Robert-Michon. Of note, outside the Wanda Diamond League ranking, is the men and women\u2019s 4×100 m, which is the perfect way to lift the mood another notch for the spectators, whilst enabling the athletes to tweak their performance one last time before the Games.<\/p>\n After securing a full house for the 2023 edition, the grandstands of the Charl\u00e9ty Stadium should quickly be bursting at the seams for Sunday 7 July, as Olympic fever takes hold. As such, secure your tickets now to ensure you have a seat for an exceptional show where you can cheer on the French athletes to your heart\u2019s content!<\/p>\n
