Diamond League CEO Petr Stastny said he welcomed the competition from other events such as Michael Johnson's new Grand Slam Track series -- but has issued a warning over looming 2025 calendar clashes that could hurt both athletes and organisers.

The article from MSN discusses the evolving landscape of track and field events, focusing on the emergence of the Grand Slam Track series, which is set to rival the established Diamond League. Sebastian Coe, president of World Athletics, has expressed support for the new series, viewing it as beneficial for the sport's growth.

Diamond League CEO Petr Stastny acknowledges the competition but remains confident in the Diamond League's established brand and its ability to adapt and thrive. He highlights the importance of innovation and the potential for both series to coexist and enhance the sport's appeal globally.
