There was another new sport to the Stan Sport line-up yesterday off the back of Paris 2024 and it will be the World Athletics Diamond League competition when it comes to running & sprinting on track as well as throwing and jumping through the field. They will pick it up right away with a few events left to go this season as the final race on the calendar will be held in Brussels, Belgium on the weekend of 13-14 September next month. It’s never been a better time now to cheer on and follow our track and field athletes progress & also the world’s best if you can’t get enough after we’ve just witnessed in Paris 2024 as Stan Sport is the perfect place to bring these world-class Athletics/Track and Field events to you at home.
Yes, these events were aired on YouTube prior to yesterday’s announcement in case you haven’t watch the Diamond League so far this year. But maybe that’s an extra offering to keep it up with their Olympics content when you can still view it for free I believe likewise with the Motorcycling Australia events such as the Australian Superbike Championship and Australian Motocross events as per Athletics Australia preview article two days ago. But we shall see tomorrow morning at 4am AEST for the Lausanne race event soon enough as would assume it will still be both on Stan Sport and YouTube since our interest levels aren’t as good on a regular basis compared to other sports here that requires a lot of $$$ to produce content.
Other than that, we could see the World Athletics Championships move to Nine from SBS next year in Tokyo, Japan since they’ve just acquired the Diamond League for their Stan Sport subscribers. Wondering if they gonna send some of their own on-air talent there or simply take the world feed like it was before. And could we see a Diamond League event here someday? Probably not when all our venues are covered for the winter Football season alongside some scheduling difficulties between April to September but I would love to see a World Athletics Championship event in Australia one day as you never know.
