Weltklasse Z\u00fcrich will inspire people around the world on two consecutive nights again this year. We will be celebrating the world\u2019s finest sport on Sechsel\u00e4utenplatz, a beautiful venue overlooking Lake Zurich on Wednesday, 7 September and at Letzigrund Stadium, a legendary stage to the world of athletics, on Thursday, 8 September.<\/p>\n
There will be six competitions on Wednesday night, and another 26 on Thursday night according to the new schedule for the Wanda Diamond League Final. Thus, there will be one more event to be held at Letzigrund Stadium than last year. As in 2021, both 5000m races will be staged on a special track leading around the Opernhaus Z\u00fcrich and Sechsel\u00e4utenplatz. And both shot put events will be held in the temporary arena on Zurich\u2019s most famous square again this year. While long jumpers will be back at Letzigrund Stadium, the athletes in the men\u2019s high jump will be able to enjoy the extraordinary setting and atmosphere for the first time. Finally, instead of a long jump pit, a pole vault landing mat will be installed for the world\u2019s best female pole vaulters. Click here<\/a> for the schedule with all 32 final events.<\/p>\n After restrictions related to the pandemic in 2021, this year, Weltklasse Z\u00fcrich will get very close to achieving one of its major goals \u2013 making athletics action accessible to as many people as possible. The ambition includes a significant increase in the number of spectators on Sechsel\u00e4utenplatz. Access to these areas will be free of charge. Letzigrund Stadium, in turn, is expected to be packed again this year. Fans may want to secure their tickets early on.<\/p>\n Mark your calendars!
