Press Release 03 Press Release In case of questions: 26 May 2021 Jacky Delapierre For Immediate Release CEO [email protected] Tel: +41 79 210 24 37 Olivier Petitjean Athletissima Service de Presse [email protected] Tel: +41 79 320 50 34 Athletissima is preparing for a full house Athletissima welcomed the Swiss Federal Council’s decision to allow outdoor sporting events to fill up with spectators as of the 20th of August. The next edition of the Lausanne meeting of the Wanda Diamond League will, as a result, be able to take place in a fully packed stadium on the 26th of August. This will allow Athletissima's ticketing to operate as usual. Ticket sales with Ticketcorner will open on Tuesday, 15th of June (if the event should be cancelled due to a resurgence of the pandemic, tickets will be refunded). The news is both a challenge and a relief for the organisers, noted the meeting Director, Jacky Delapierre. The Lausanne meeting will be the first major athletics event in Europe after the Tokyo Olympics. A guaranteed quality competition, as the Wanda Diamond League final in Zurich approaches, as well as an opportunity for the athletes not selected for the Games to prove a point. "The decision of the Swiss Federal Council was notably facilitated by the constant commitment of the Vaudois and Valaisian State Councils", congratulated the organisers of Athletissima. This will be the first large-scale sporting event with a large audience to be held in a stadium in Switzerland since the restrictions imposed by Covid-19. Wednesday's decision marked more relaxed restrictions since the announcement 2 weeks ago, which initially called for sporting events with 10’000 or more people only as of early September. All tickets sold will be seated and numbered. The stadium will be able to fill up to its capacity. The City Event organised the day before the meeting, with a men's high jump competition in the city centre, will be free for the public and accessible under specific conditions which have yet to be determined.

  • Journée Des Médias De L'athlétisme Suisse
    Communiqué de presse Swiss Athletics du mardi 25 mai 2021 Regard optimiste de Swiss Athletics sur l’été olympique Après une saison en salle réussie, un été de compétition de haut niveau s’annonce pour l’athlétisme suisse. Swiss Athletics attend avec confiance les Jeux olympiques de Tokyo et tous les autres moments forts. Jamais encore l’élite nationale n’a connu une aussi grande densité. L’athlétisme suisse connait le succès depuis des années. Cela s'est vérifié l'été dernier, lorsque de nombreux athlètes ont brillé par d’excellentes performances saluées au niveau international, malgré les conditions difficiles causées par la pandémie, mais aussi lors de la saison en salle de cette année, lorsque deux jeunes Suissesses, Ajla Del Ponte (US Ascona, 60 m) et Angelica Moser (LC Zurich, saut à la perche), ont été sacrées championnes d'Europe en salle. Swiss Athletics veut profiter de cet élan pendant la saison en plein air 2021, qui a déjà connu un début prometteur. Plusieurs athlètes ont rapidement fait preuve d’une très bonne forme, ce qui est très important, car la période de qualification pour les Jeux olympiques de Tokyo (JAP) prend fin le mardi 29 juin déjà. Swiss Athletics compte se rendre au Japon avec quelques 20 athlètes, comme l’a expliqué le directeur technique Philipp Bandi mardi à Ittigen à l’occasion de la journée des médias de l’athlétisme suisse. Au niveau de la relève, les CE U20 à Tallinn (EST/15 au 18 juillet) constituent le but principal. Les responsables de Swiss Athletics espèrent qu’European Athletics trouve un remplaçant pour organiser les CE U23 annulés à Bergen (NOR), car aussi bien les CE U20 que les CE U23 sont des événements très importants pour les jeunes athlètes en route vers le sommet européen ; ils leur permettent de s’affirmer en comparaison internationale.
