Wannda Diamond League 2021 Calendar: 14 races Schedule dates, venues.
British venue will kick off 2021 Diamond League season instead of Rabat, as Rome and Oslo events also move.
Diamond League organisers have confirmed Gateshead will open the season for World Athletics’ flagship grand prix series with the North East England venue holding the event on May 23.
Moroccan city has pulled out of staging the meeting due to coronavirus.
In addition, the Diamond League confirmed Rome’s Pietro Mennea Golden Gala will relocate to the Stadio Luigi Ridolfi in Florence and will be moved from June 4 to June 10, while Oslo’s Bislett Games will be postponed until July 1 to comply with local coronavirus restrictions in Norway.
With an event in Stockholm on July 4 it means athletes can minimise travel as they potentially travel from one Scandinavian venue to another.
