“Rumesh Tharanga qualifies for the 2026 Diamond League Final!”
The men’s javelin throw competition in the 2026 Diamond League consists of five rounds.
So far, three of the five rounds have been completed, and after those three rounds, Rumesh Tharanga is currently ranked No. 1 in the standings.
At the end of all five rounds, the top six athletes on the points table will qualify for the 2026 Diamond League Final, which will be held in Brussels, Belgium, in September.
The athlete who wins the final will be crowned the 2026 Diamond League Champion.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that Rumesh has already secured direct qualification for the final with two rounds still remaining, thanks to the 23 points he has accumulated so far.
Here is Rumesh’s performance record and the remaining Diamond League events:
📍 May 31, 2026 – Rabat, Morocco 🇲🇦
85.97m (2nd Place) – 7 Points

Was it deliberate cheating or divine intervention? But what followed 4 minutes later was a moment to remember!

🏏 From 168 to a duck... that's cricket.
Just a week after smashing 168 runs in UK village cricket, Kumar Sangakkara was dismissed for a nine-ball duck in his latest outing for Shillingstone CC.
But the former Sri Lanka captain still played a key role in the victory, producing a miserly spell of 2/25 from 9 overs to help his side get over the line.
A reminder that cricket remains the ultimate game of uncertainty — one week a record-breaking century, the next a duck, yet still finding a way to contribute to the team's win
