The Diamond League Continues with a Stop in North Africa
The Diamond League season is back in full swing as the prestigious athletics series makes its way to North Africa. After starting with a two-event couplet in China following the postponement of the Doha event, the calendar is packed with competitions over the next two weeks.
Great Britain’s Matt Hudson-Smith is among the athletes competing, aiming for success in the 400m race against Quincy Hall, who narrowly beat him at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Meanwhile, Morocco will be looking to their own star, Soufiane El Bakkali, a two-time Olympic champion and the main attraction in the men’s 3000m steeplechase.
