The Xiamen Diamond League 2024, the first meeting of the series, concluded on April 20, 2024, at the Egret Stadium. The event featured many Olympic and World Championships athletes who put up impressive performances in a bid to qualify for the Paris Olympics 2024.

The event saw competitions across 14 disciplines in both men's and women's categories. The Xiamen Diamond League was one of the top legs happening in China as the Suzhou Diamond League is slated for April 27, 2024.

Reigning World Indoor champion Christian Coleman got the better of Olympic silver medalist and compatriot Fred Kerley (10.17s) to win in a time of 10.13s in the Men's 100m dash event.

Meanwhile, Sweden's Mondo Duplantis once again showed why he is the best in the world as he smashed the pole world record for the eighth time, clearing the bar with a 6.24m leap. In addition, he was the only athlete to go past the 6m mark in the event at the Xiamen Diamond League 2024.

Olympic champion Valarie Allman from the USA won the discus throw with a massive throw of 69.80m, ahead of bronze medalist Yaime Pérez. While Shelby McEwen produced an upset over the Tokyo Olympics gold medalist Mutaz Essa Barshim as he cleared the 2.27 mark on his first try in the high jump event.
