Diamond League Stockholm
Whenever you come to the Diamond League in Stockholm you step again into historical past. The London (Olympic) stadium which can host subsequent month’s Diamond League was inbuilt 2012. The Stockholm Olympiastadion in 1912. Whereas London is a purpose-built fashionable stadium seating 50,000, Stockholm’s capability is about 13,000. In 1912 it hosted monitor and area, soccer, gymnastics, wrestling and that nice outdated Olympic sport of Tug of Warfare.
For years it hosted the Djurgardens skilled soccer staff till they moved to a contemporary stadium in 2013. The outdated Olympic stadium hosted the 1958 European Athletics Championships and since 2011 has been an annual Diamond League venue. It even has its personal metro station, referred to as Stadion (Stadium).
Internet hosting an occasion just like the Bauhaus Galan Diamond League just isn’t with out its challenges. The media seats and the media heart need to be constructed specifically on scaffolding on the outdated terrace the place spectators used to face. In fact the outdated historic buildings can’t be amended to fulfill fashionable stadium wants however you merely need to forgive it due to its age and heritage.
There’s a full program for spectators together with a males’s pole vault. I’m wondering if Sweden has anybody who’s any good at pole vault.
