The Diamond League season ends on Friday in the place where it was supposed to start — Doha.
Like many sports, track and field’s calendar was put in disarray by the coronavirus pandemic. The Doha meet, originally scheduled for April 17 to open an Olympic season, was postponed five months while other stops were canceled altogether.
Now, Doha caps an unlikely season that still produced stirring performances. NBCSN coverage starts at 12 p.m. ET. NBC Sports Gold also streams live for subscribers.
The headliner is Swedish pole vaulter Mondo Duplantis, a leading contender for Male Athlete of the Year.
