The Rome Diamond League took place on June 6, 2019. The meet was tremendous. From the 5000 meters, to the long jump, the world’s finest athletes are beginning to come out of their slumbers to remind us that the WC are months away!
The battle between Noah Lyles and Mike Norman over 200 meters was the highlight of the Pietro Mennea Memorial.
