The 2023 Golden Gala was the 43nd edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting in Italy. Held on 2 June at the Stadio Luigi Ridolfi [it] in Florence, it was the third leg of the 2023 Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit. The highlight of the meeting was Faith Kipyegon running 3:49.11 to break the world record in the 1500 m, beating Genzebe Dibaba's mark from 2015. She ran the race in a negative split, covering her first 800 metres in 2:04.1 but her last 800 m in 2:00.6. Kipyegon also became the only woman in history to run under 3:50.[1]

Results

Athletes competing in the Diamond League disciplines earned extra compensation and points which went towards qualifying for the Diamond League finals in Zürich. First place earned 8 points, with each step down in place earning one less point than the previous, until no points are awarded in 9th place or lower.[2]
