Lausanne Diamond League: live results, schedule and what to expect
The Lausanne Diamond League (Athletissima) is one of the season's biggest track and field meetings. If you want fast updates, clear results and a practical guide to attending or watching, this page gives you the essentials without the fluff.
The meeting usually takes place at Lausanne’s main stadium, attracting world-class sprinters, middle-distance stars, jumpers and throwers. Expect tight races, national records and occasional meeting records — the competition level is elite and the atmosphere is electric.
How to follow results and live timing
For live results check the official Diamond League website and World Athletics timing pages first. Both publish heat sheets, start lists and split times during the meet. The meet's social accounts (Twitter/X, Instagram) post quick highlights and links to live timing services. If you prefer video, Diamond League TV and some broadcasters stream selected events live or offer full replays after the races.
Want push updates? Follow the meet’s official X account and enable notifications from World Athletics. Dedicated athletics apps also send real-time results and athlete splits — useful if you’re tracking a specific runner or event.
Plan your visit: tickets, transport and what to bring
Buy tickets early. Popular events sell out fast, especially finals for sprints and the mile. Check the Athletissima or Diamond League ticket page for seat maps and pricing. Bring a lightweight rain jacket — Swiss weather can change quickly — and a small pair of binoculars for field events. Public transport is the easiest way to reach the stadium; parking near the venue is limited on meet day.
Arrive early to see warm-ups and catch athletes signing autographs in the mixed zone. Food options at the stadium are basic, so grab a snack beforehand if you prefer specific dietary choices. Keep your phone charged — results and replays often circulate there first.
Looking for athletes to watch? The Lausanne meeting draws top names across disciplines. Keep an eye on sprint finals for explosive action, middle-distance races for tactical battles, and the jumps for big, sudden leads. Follow start lists to spot breakout contenders and national favorites who often aim to peak at Athletissima.
