One month after the Olympic Games, the best athletes meet in Zurich to compete for the prestigious Wanda Diamond League trophies. At least 17 champions of individual events in Tokyo will line up in 32 finals. Seven events will take place on Sechseläutenplatz on 8 September; the remaining 25 will be held at Letzigrund Stadium on 9 September.
A record number – 13 – of Swiss athletes have confirmed their appearance. The two Olympic finalists Ajla Del Ponte (100m) and Mujinga Kambundji (100m/200m) have qualified for the final events, as did Lea Sprunger (400m hurdles), and Jason Joseph (110m hurdles). Joseph will be facing a quasi-Olympic-final scenario that includes Olympic champion Hansle Parchment and four Tokyo finalists. Switzerland’s Ajla Del Ponte and Mujinga Kambundji will challenge the world’s two fastest women. And they are just two of 13 Swiss athletes to have qualified for the largest finals in the history of the global meeting series.
