DIAMOND LEAGUE

Host broadcaster for international track and field athletics

THE BRIEF

The 2022 Diamond League in Birmingham was a major moment for world athletics and an important test event for the newly redeveloped Alexander Stadium ahead of the Commonwealth Games.

The organisers asked Sunset+Vine to showcase both the venue and the sport through a world-class host broadcast.

THE RESULT

The event organisers praised the coverage for the way it captured every key race, jump and throw with clarity and style.

It also proved to be an ideal springboard for Sunset+Vine’s award-winning coverage of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

THE HOW

Drawing on our experience from the 2017 World Athletics Championships, we introduced a range of specialist cameras to bring fresh angles to the coverage.

A railcam and buggy camera tracked the runners, while a jib at the 200m start and a vertical camera for the throws added depth and variety. Drone shots helped show off the redesigned stadium.

With ten track events, five field events and medal ceremonies squeezed into a two-hour window, the production required detailed planning and razor-sharp editorial decisions.
