Paris Diamond League still on after heatwave warning

The Paris Diamond League meeting on June 28 will proceed in an adapted format after organisers reached an agreement with French authorities amid a historic heatwave that saw Paris record a June temperature high of 40.9°C. Safety measures include providing drinking water, cooling vests for athletes, and reinforced medical support, while non-elite athletics events scheduled before the TV window have been cancelled. Police had initially requested cancellation of large-scale events, citing pressure on an already saturated healthcare system, but a prefectural order exemption allowed professional athletes to continue competing.
