Hey sports enthusiasts! Xiamen is set to light up the track as the first World Athletics Diamond League meeting of 2025 kicks off in the vibrant city in southeast China's Fujian Province. 🎉
Sixteen top home athletes, including veteran triple jumper Zhu Yaming, will battle it out across 10 exciting events. Zhu’s comeback story is especially inspiring. After snagging a silver at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, the 30-year-old is determined to bounce back, aiming for a triple jump mark of at least 17.30 meters to secure a top-three finish—even though the event isn’t a Diamond League points race.
Under the guidance of his coach, Nelio Moura, and with past highlights from the Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 Oregon World Championships, Zhu is raring to go. His mindset? Give it his all when it really counts! 🔥
This Diamond League showdown promises thrilling competition and unforgettable moments. Whether you're a die-hard athletics fan or just love a great comeback story, Xiamen is the place to be!
