Lea Sprunger : « After Rio, Athletissima ! »
Two months away from the 41st edition of Athletissima, the organisers will fly to the American and Jamaican Trials over the next days and will also be attending the European Championships in Amsterdam to sign athletes proving to be in optimal shape. After London’s Diamond League (22nd and 23rd of July), the startlists for 2016 will be almost definitive. The last commitments will be made during the Olympic Games in Rio.

Bondarenko and Barber up for some great action
In 2013 and 2014, the men’s high jump was one of the most exciting events at Athletissima. The main entertainer of this extraordinary show was Bohdan Bondarenko, who already won both the Shanghai and the Rabat meets this season.

Faithful as any other to Athletissima, the world record holder in the pole vault Renaud Lavillenie will be attending the party this year again.

Dream Schedule Following the Olympic Games
16 Diamond League events, three additional disciplines and as many world class clashes. Following the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro (BRA), international and Swiss stars are awaited in the mythical Olympic Stadium La Pontaise in Lausanne.
