The 2019 Anniversary Games was the 67th edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting in London. Held from 20 to 21 July at London Stadium, it was the tenth leg of the 2019 IAAF Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit.

The first day of competition was noted for the close race between Hagos Gebrhiwet and future Olympic gold medalist Jakob Ingebrigtsen, as well as the unexpected fall of Nijel Amos in the men's 800 m.[1]

The final day was noted for Catriona Bisset's Australian record in the 800 m and Ingebrigtsen's loss again, this time in the 1500 m to Samuel Tefera.[2]

Diamond League results

[edit]

Athletes competing in the Diamond League disciplines earned extra compensation and points which went towards qualifying for one of two Diamond League finals (either Zürich or Brussels depending on the discipline). First place earned 8 points, with each step down in place earning one less point than the previous, until no points are awarded in 9th place or lower.[3]
