Get a Front Row Seat at the City Event

Athletissima’s City Event promises to be exceptional on Thursday, August 20. Admission to the men’s pole vault competition will be free, as usual, but you can still secure a prime viewing spot: visit our website, athletissima.ch, to reserve a front row seat and enjoy the spectacle to the fullest.

The competition will bring together the sport’s biggest stars, led by Armand Duplantis and Emmanouil Karalis. They will be aiming to surpass the Athletissima record of 6.15m, set by Duplantis in 2024, which also stands as the best performance ever achieved outside a stadium.

The City Event will also feature entertainment and a variety of stands, including food vendors, making the evening a true festive gathering.
