100-Plus Athletes Didn't Accept A Spot In The 2017 Diamond League Final
100-Plus Athletes Didn't Accept A Spot In The 2017 Diamond League Final
Some big-name athletes did not accept a spot in this year's Diamond League final.
A total of 109 athletes did not accept a spot in this year's Diamond League final.
This year, the IAAF instituted a new qualifying system in which only the top eight or 12 athletes with the most Diamond League points would be eligible to race in the Diamond League final in Zurich or Brussels. If an athlete were to scratch, the next athlete in line would then be given a spot in the final.
We compiled a list of all the athletes who had a spot in the Diamond League final but chose not to participate due to various reasons.
Below are some notable athletes missing the Diamond League final, and below that is the complete list. (Some of these athletes have announced they are injured.)
Usain Bolt, Andre De Grasse, Fred Kerley, Wayde van Niekerk, LaShawn Merritt, Donavan Brazier, Omar McLeod, Dafne Schippers, Tori Bowie, Allyson Felix, Laura Muir, Brenda Martinez, Shannon Rowbury, Keni Harrison, Vashti Cunningham.
