Doha: 45 individual and relay medallists from the 2024 Olympic Games and 2023 World Athletics Championships will compete at the Jetour Doha Meeting -the third meeting of the 2025 Wanda Diamond League series on May 16.

Last year’s event brought an incredible party atmosphere to the Qatar Sports Club and the athletes responded by treating the sell-out crowd to four world leading performances and two meeting records.

Organisers have confirmed that in 2025, for the first time, athletes who set new meeting records in Doha (across all disciplines) will be awarded a $5000 bonus.

Together with a record prize pot of $9.24m across the Wanda Diamond League series, the announcement marks another welcome addition for athletes.

Across a packed programme, highlights are expected to include the men’s 200m, men’s high jump, men’s javelin, women’s steeplechase, women’s pole vault and men’s discus.
