The Paris Diamond League will proceed on Sunday with a modified schedule and delayed gate opening due to extreme heat in the region. The French Athletics Federation (FFA) reached an agreement with the city’s police prefecture to adjust the competition schedule, holding only professional athlete events and providing extra water and shaded areas.
The event will start at 1530 local time, with the gates at Stade Charlety opening 45 minutes later. Medical and emergency services will be reinforced to ensure the safety of athletes, coaches, volunteers, officials, spectators, and staff.
