Algerian middle-distance runner Slimane Moula secured a third-place finish in the men's 800 meters at a Diamond League meeting held on June 10, 2026. The event took place in Stockholm, Sweden, as part of the 2026 Diamond League series.
Moula clocked a time of 1:44.32, finishing behind Kenyan winner Emmanuel Wanyonyi (1:43.85) and Canadian runner Marco Arop (1:44.01). The race was highly competitive, with the top three athletes separated by less than half a second.
This result marks Moula's first podium finish in the 2026 Diamond League season. The 27-year-old Algerian has been a consistent performer in the 800m, with a personal best of 1:43.38 set in 2023.
Moula's bronze medal performance adds to Algeria's growing reputation in middle-distance running, following the legacy of athletes like Djamel Sedjati and Taoufik Makhloufi.
