Professional Women's 3k Steeplechase Wanda Diamond League12:18

The Xiamen Diamond League delivered one of the strongest meets of the early outdoor season, highlighted by multiple world leads, meet records and historic sprint performances. Masai Russell stole the spotlight in the women’s 100m hurdles, running 12.14 to become the second-fastest woman in history behind only Tobi Amusan’s world record.

Shericka Jackson also delivered a major statement, winning the women’s 200m in a meet-record 21.87 after opening her season at 22.07 just one week earlier in Shanghai. Alison dos Santos continued his dominance in the men’s 400m hurdles, defeating Karsten Warholm again with a world-leading 46.72 performance.

In the field events, China’s Ziyi Yan produced one of the biggest throws in Diamond League history, launching a world under-20 and Diamond League record of 71.74 meters in the women’s javelin. Miltiadis Tentóglou matched the world lead at 8.46 to win the men’s long jump over Mattia Furlani and Tajay Gayle.

Distance events again produced world-class times throughout the evening. Yihune Addisu ran a world-leading 12:57.32 to win the men’s 5000m, while Peruth Chemutai lowered her own world lead in the women’s steeplechase with an 8:51.06 meet-record performance.

Masai Russell Runs One Of Fastest Times In History In Xiamen

Masai Russell came within hundredths of the world record in a breathtaking performance at the Xiamen Diamond League, storming to victory in the women’s 100m hurdles in 12.14. The American shattered the Diamond League record, meet record and world lead while moving to the second-fastest performance in history behind only Tobi Amusan’s 12.12 world record.

Amusan finished second in 12.28 after being unable to match Russell’s explosive finish over the final hurdles, while Devynne Charlton took third in 12.37. Russell’s performance now stands as one of the greatest sprint hurdle races ever produced and immediately becomes one of the defining moments of the 2026 outdoor season.

The race featured multiple elite hurdlers under pressure from the gun, but Russell separated herself midway through the race and powered through the final barriers with near-perfect execution. Her 12.14 is now tied among the fastest marks ever recorded and reinforces her status as one of the premier athletes in global track and field.

Xiamen Diamond League Starts Now; Stream On FloTrack and The FloSports App

Women's Javelin starts Diamond League events off followed by the men's shot put at 6:35 a.m. ET. 

Masai Russell, Tobi Amusan And Ditaji Kambundji Lead Women’s Hurdles Field

The women’s 100m hurdles in Xiamen again brings together one of the deepest hurdle fields in the world with Masai Russell, Tobi Amusan and Ditaji Kambundji all returning after last weekend’s Shanghai meeting. 

Russell owns the second-fastest time in history at 12.17, while Amusan still holds the world record at 12.12. Kambundji arrives as the reigning world champion after running 12.24 in Tokyo.

Danielle Williams, Devynne Charlton, Ackera Nugent, Tonea Marshall and Megan Simmonds also return for another showdown. Shanghai provided the first look at early-season form, but Xiamen offers something different: a chance to see which hurdlers are beginning to separate themselves after another week of competition.

Cordell Tinch And Jamal Britt Renew Men’s 110m Hurdles Rivalry

Cordell Tinch returns to Xiamen after Jamal Britt edged him last weekend in Shanghai in one of the tightest sprint hurdle races of the Diamond League opener. Britt matched his personal best of 13.07 for the third time this season, while Tinch followed closely in 13.10 after entering the year as the reigning world champion.

Tinch still owns one of the fastest times in history at 12.87, a mark he originally ran in Shanghai last season. Jason Joseph, Eric Edwards and Rachid Muratake join the field again in Xiamen as the men’s hurdles continue building toward one of the deepest global events of the outdoor season.

What Time Is The Diamond League Today?

It's almost here. Some regional events are going on right now, but the first Diamond League event is set for 6:10 a.m. ET. 

Haruka Kitaguchi Headlines Women’s Javelin In Xiamen, Which Kicks Meet Off

The women’s javelin returns to the Diamond League schedule in Xiamen after not being contested in Shanghai last weekend. Olympic champion Haruka Kitaguchi headlines the field after winning gold in Paris and the world title in Budapest, while carrying a personal best of 67.38 meters into the competition.

Maria Andrejczyk, Adriana Vilagoš and Sigrid Borge also enter as part of a deep international field. Elina Tzengko returns as the defending Xiamen champion after setting the meet record at 64.75 last season, while several athletes arrive with season-best marks already beyond 60 meters.

Women’s Javelin Throw Xiamen Diamond League Entry List

  1. Haruka Kitaguchi, Japan: 67.38
  2. Elina Tzengko, Greece: 65.81
  3. Adriana Vilagoš, Serbia: 67.22

  8. Qianqian Dai, China: 64.38
  9. Małgorzata Masłak-Glugla, Poland: 61.79
  10. Maria Andrejczyk, Poland: 71.40

Birke Haylom And Jessica Hull Return For Another Women’s 1500m Battle

Birke Haylom enters Xiamen carrying the women’s 1500m world lead after winning last week in Shanghai in a meet-record 3:55.56. Tsige Duguma finished just behind in 3:55.71, while Abbey Caldwell took third in 3:56.12 as the entire field pushed under 4:01 in one of the fastest races of the early outdoor season.

Jessica Hull returns looking to respond after finishing sixth in Shanghai despite running 3:57.91. The Australian star owns the 2000m world record and the fifth-fastest 1500m time in history at 3:50.83. With Faith Kipyegon again absent from the field, Haylom arrives in Xiamen carrying the momentum and the world lead into another stacked middle-distance race.

Mattia Furlani And Miltiadis Tentóglou Renew Long Jump Rivalry

The men’s long jump in Xiamen brings together two of the biggest names in the event after Mattia Furlani emerged as the new world champion in 2025. Furlani won the World Indoor title earlier this year, became the youngest men’s long jump world champion in history in Tokyo and has already jumped 8.43 meters outdoors in 2026.

Miltiadis Tentóglou enters looking to reclaim momentum after Furlani took the world title from him last season. The Greek star won Olympic gold at both Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024, becoming the first man since Carl Lewis to repeat as Olympic champion in the event. Tajay Gayle and Wayne Pinnock also return to the runway, giving Xiamen another stacked field event lineup.

Ryan Crouser, Tom Walsh And Leonardo Fabbri Headline Xiamen Shot Put

The men’s shot put in Xiamen brings together three of the biggest names in the event, led by Olympic champion Ryan Crouser. The American owns the world record at 23.56 meters and has won three Olympic gold medals and three world outdoor titles, establishing himself as one of the greatest throwers in history.

Tom Walsh enters as the reigning 2026 World Indoor champion after defending his global indoor title in Toruń, while Leonardo Fabbri arrives with the outdoor world lead at 22.50 meters. Crouser still owns the farthest throw ever recorded, but how far he throws in Xiamen may say more about the shape of his 2026 season than simply whether he wins the competition.

Christian Coleman, Letsile Tebogo And Kenny Bednarek Lead Men’s 100m

The men’s 100m field in Xiamen again features one of the deepest sprint lineups in the world with Christian Coleman, Letsile Tebogo, Akani Simbine, Ferdinand Omanyala, Kenny Bednarek, Trayvon Bromell and Gift Leotlela all entered. Leotlela won the Shanghai Diamond League opener in 9.97, edging Omanyala and Bednarek in a tightly packed final.

Unlike some recent global finals, the Xiamen field arrives without a clear favorite. Oblique Seville and Kishane Thompson are not entered, leaving a race filled with elite sprinters but no settled hierarchy. With so many athletes capable of sub-10-second performances, the second Diamond League stop of the season could again produce one of the fastest sprint races of the outdoor year.

Shericka Jackson, Sha’Carri Richardson And Shaunae Miller-Uibo Meet Again In Xiamen

The women’s 200m in Xiamen brings back the same three headliners from last weekend’s Diamond League opener in Shanghai: Shericka Jackson, Sha’Carri Richardson and Shaunae Miller-Uibo. Jackson won the first meeting in 22.07, ahead of Miller-Uibo and Richardson, while Amy Hunt, Anavia Battle, McKenzie Long and Jenna Prandini also return for the rematch.

One race can reveal early-season fitness. Two races in consecutive weeks begin to reveal hierarchy. Jackson’s 21.41 remains the second-fastest time in history behind only Florence Griffith-Joyner, while Richardson’s explosive opening speed continues to make her one of the most dangerous sprinters in the world. Miller-Uibo’s strength over the final straight keeps her firmly in the conversation again this weekend.

Karsten Warholm And Alison dos Santos Meet Again In Xiamen

The men’s 400m hurdles in Xiamen arrives with one of the biggest storylines in track and field after Alison dos Santos edged Karsten Warholm in Shanghai by four hundredths of a second in the 300m hurdles. Dos Santos ran a world-leading 33.01, the second-fastest performance ever, while Warholm crossed in 33.05 after leading early in the race.

Now the rivalry shifts back to Warholm’s signature event. The Norwegian owns the world record at 45.94 from the Tokyo Olympics and has won three world titles in the event. Dos Santos ran 46.29 to win the 2022 world title and has already shown strong early-season form in China. Abderrahman Samba, Trevor Bassitt, Kyron McMaster and CJ Allen round out one of the deepest hurdle fields of the Diamond League season so far.

What Happened At The Xiamen Diamond League Last Year?

Last year’s Diamond League opener in Xiamen produced multiple meet records, world leads and one historic world record performance. Karsten Warholm stole the spotlight by setting the world record in the men’s 300m hurdles, while Beatrice Chebet won the women’s 5000m in a world-leading 14:27.12. Cordell Tinch also ran 13.06 to win the men’s 110m hurdles, and Jessica Schilder set a meet record in the women’s shot put with a 20.47-meter throw.

The women’s 200m delivered one of the biggest sprint performances of the meet, with Anavia Battle winning in a meet-record 22.41 ahead of Shericka Jackson. In the men’s 400m, Bayapo Ndori ran a meet-record 44.25 to edge Christopher Bailey by two hundredths of a second in one of the tightest finishes of the competition.
