Four-time European champion Christophe Lemaitre (FRA) will race in Zurich, taking the place of Alex Wilson (SUI) who is still recovering from an injury. In all, the Wanda Diamond League exhibition event includes 30 top stars, who will be competing in eight arenas simultaneously. The 90-minute international programme will be produced and broadcast worldwide by SRG SSR.<\/p>\n

What might sound like a somewhat crazy idea will be a unique live event: The \u201cWeltklasse Z\u00fcrich Inspiration Games\u201d on 9 July combine seven venues. Some of the world\u2019s best athletes will treat fans to a unique, long-hoped-for athletics TV experience. Viewers will get to watch eight competitions with line-ups of three athletes per event. And as always at Weltklasse Z\u00fcrich, there will be an all-star cast in all of the eight disciplines: The entry lists include no less than 26 Olympic, 62 world championship, and 36 European championship medals.<\/p>\n

Seven venues, interlinked for a joint live event<\/h4>\n

Both the final entry lists and all venues have been confirmed. Four Swiss athletes and France\u2019s Christophe Lemaitre will compete in Zurich. The additional venues include Aubi\u00e8re (FRA), Bradenton, FL (USA), Karlstad (SWE), Lisbon (POR), Papendal\/Arnhem (NED), and Walnut, CA (USA). Letzigrund Stadium will serve as the event\u2019s control centre and start all competitions. Live TV signals will be sent to Zurich, synchronized, and edited for global broadcasting (two-minute delay; split screens) \u2013 a technical first in international sports. \u201cWe will give our all to present a perfect production of the star-studded competitions. For this reason, we will work with a safety margin to ensure smooth procedures. Our ambition is to set new standards, as always,\u201d says Co-Meeting Director Andreas Hediger. The project was developed in close cooperation by Weltklasse Z\u00fcrich, host broadcaster SRG SSR, and the timekeeping company Swiss Timing.<\/p>\n
