Diamond League Shanghai/Keqiao
(1st Stop of 2026 Wanda Diamond League)
Shaoxing City, CHN; Saturday, May 16
China Textile City Sports Center in Keqiao District
NOTE: An excellent start for the 2026 Wanda Diamond League, especially in the distance events. Meeting records were set in four out of five distance disciplines, and the men’s 3000m was particularly good. In that race, won by Germany’s Mohamed Abdilaahi in a national record 7:25.77, 14 men broke 7:30. Area records were set for both Asia and South America. Also noteworthy was Mark English’s win in the 800m. The Irishman was back in 8th position at the 500m mark, and was only in 6th position with 100m to go. But the 33 year-old veteran deftly sliced through traffic in the final 50m to take the win in a meeting record 1:43.85. Since it was a Diamond Plus discipline, he won USD 20,000 in prize money –Ed.
