Due to the suspension of all international sporting events in the Chinese city, the 2020 Wanda Diamond League meeting in Shanghai has been cancelled.
Today the Wanda Diamond League announces a further alteration to its 2020 calendar.
Following the decision taken by the National Administration of Sports to suspend all international sporting events until next year, we are sorry to announce that the 2020 Shanghai Diamond League will not go ahead as planned on 19th September.
The meeting will return next year, taking its traditional place as one of the early-season events in the Diamond League calendar.
Due to the ongoing global health situation and ever-changing regulations, the 2020 Wanda Diamond League calendar remains provisional and subject to further changes.
The 2020 Wanda Diamond League will not be a structured series of events leading to a final as is usually the case. Athletes will therefore not earn Diamond League points this season, and there will not be a single, 24-discipline final in Zurich as originally planned.
Six competitive meetings are currently scheduled to go ahead between August 14th and October 17th. Click here to view the latest calendar in full.
