Diamond League Silesia 2024 Schedule: What To Know
The Diamond League Silesia will be the 12th meet of the 15-event 2024 season and second stop after the Summer Olympics. Here’s how to follow the action.
Maintaining the momentum of the recent 2024 Summer Olympics is as important for track and field as a whole as it is for individual athletes who are looking to continue the success they enjoyed in Paris.
Some sports have high-profile professional leagues for the athletes to go back to, such as the NBA in the United States, while track and field has the globetrotting Wanda Diamond League, which will become a fixture on FloTrack next year.

Next up, is the Silesia Kamila Skolimowska Memorial, held annually since 2009 in honor of Poland’s youngest Olympic champion – Kamila Skolimowska – who won the women’s hammer throw at the 2000 Olympic Games. Tragically, Skolimowska died from a pulmonary embolism in 2009 at age 26 during a training session in Portugal.
The Silesia Kamila Skolimowska Memorial/Diamond League Silesia 2024 will take place at the Silesian Stadium in Chorzow, Poland, which opened in 1956.
This year’s Silesia Kamila Skolimowska Memorial will be held Aug. 25.
At the 2023 edition of the event in Silesia, 17 of the competitors went on to win titles at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest later in the year.
