REUTERS: Eight disciplines have been axed from the core programme of the 2020 Diamond League season, reducing the number to 24 - 12 each for men and women - to cater to a 90-minute broadcast window, the IAAF said on Wednesday.

The 100 metres, long jump and high jump turned out to be the three most popular disciplines in online and post-event surveys conducted across several countries. They are part of the core programme and will appear at all meetings and the final. "Two meetings will also feature discus and triple jump . However, none of the four disciplines will feature in the Diamond League final in 2020."Last month, Diamond League officials agreed to add a 15th meet to its 2020 season in China as part of a partnership with Chinese conglomerate Wanda Group who agreed to a 10-year deal to become the title sponsor of the circuit.
