2022 was another record-breaking year in the Wanda Diamond League, with no fewer than seven athletes setting a new series record in their season-long battle for a shot at the Diamond Trophy in Zurich.
Kristjan Ceh got the ball rolling as he began a dominant campaign at the second meeting of the season in Birmingham. The Slovenian threw 71.27m at the Alexander Stadium, adding almost half a metre to Fedrick Dacres’ previous best of 70.78m from 2019. It was a sign of things to come from Ceh, who would go on to win all five Diamond League meetings in the men’s discus as he unseated reigning champion Daniel Stahl and claimed his first ever Diamond Trophy.
