Zurich, 4 September 2015. Mutaz Essa Barshim finished his season with another outstanding result: Only a few days after his 4th place at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing 2015 the Aspire Academy graduate won the high jump event at the 2015 IAAF Diamond League final in Zurich.
The victory in Zurich was in some way a compensation for Beijing, since the Qatari beat all three men who finished ahead of him at the World Championships as he was the only man able to negotiate 2.32m in the cold and damp conditions at the Zurich meeting. Thanks to the eight points for the win, the Diamond Race also went to the Qatari.
