The premier class of athletics returns - and for the first time, Sportdeutschland.TV is right in the middle of it: On April 26, the Wanda Diamond League 2025 kicks off with the opening meeting in Xiamen, China. The online sports channel will broadcast all 15 meetings of the world-renowned series live and on demand - at least ten of them exclusively.

The Wanda Diamond League stands for top-class international athletics like no other format. For Sportdeutschland.TV, the comprehensive broadcast is a milestone - and for fans in Germany, access to one of the most fascinating sports series of the year.

 

Broadcast from our own studio - with a strong on-air team

The live broadcasts will take place directly from the modern Sportdeutschland.TV studio. Two active top athletes will lead through the evening right from the opening meeting: Linn Kleine, middle and long-distance runner with international experience, and Catiana Pscherer, specialist in the 400m hurdles and active in top-class sport for many years. Both bring not only specialist knowledge, but also current perspectives directly from the world of active athletes - a closeness that inspires viewers.

As the season progresses, the team in front of the camera expands:

• Florian Weber– Sports journalist with a focus on athletics
• Max Thorwirth – active middle-distance runner and multiple German champion
• Niko Kappel – Paralympics winner and popular expert in para-athletics
• Maximilian Kluth – active long jumper and 400m runner

The team turns the Diamond League into a multimedia experience on all platforms - with first-hand analysis, background information and emotions.
