IAAF Golden League

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The IAAF Golden League was an annual series of athletics meetings organized by the International Association of Athletics Federations . It was introduced in succession to the Golden Four in 1998 in order to give individual athletics events greater significance.

In several pre-determined track and field disciplines, athletes had to win their competition in six events each in order to receive a share of the jackpot of one million dollars in gold. The fewer athletes who won all competitions in their respective disciplines, the greater their share of the jackpot. In 1998 the meetings of Oslo , Rome , Monaco , Zurich , Brussels and Berlin were added to the Golden League program. In 2003, Monaco was replaced by Paris .

The list of disciplines that were eligible for the jackpot changed from year to year, the number of the men differed between 5 (2007, 2009) and 8 (2001) disciplines, for women there were 4 disciplines annually in 2008 5 or 6 disciplines in question. In 2000 the jackpot was reduced from one million dollars in gold to fifty kilograms in gold bars, but this was reversed in 2003. In 2000 and 2001, the athletes only had to win five competitions to be able to participate in the jackpot.

In 2010 the IAAF Golden League was replaced by the IAAF Diamond League .
