World-renowned Zurich designer Alfredo H\u00e4berli created the new silver design, drawing on the original Zurich trophy that had been used as challenge cup for relay races.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to have been able to engage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alfredo-haeberli.com\/work\/zurich-trophy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alfredo H\u00e4berli<\/a>, who is an internationally established designer. Like Weltklasse Z\u00fcrich, he values the notion of being open-minded and globally connected and locally rooted at the same time. The Z\u00fcrich Trophy award encapsulates the honour and outstanding achievement of winning an event at Weltklasse Z\u00fcrich,\u201d Co-Meeting Director Christoph Joho said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, as a designer, trophies of historical elegance, are strange. A new cup should mirror the uniqueness of the arena, the meeting, and the city, I think,\u201d Alfredo H\u00e4berli, who designed the Zurich Trophy at his local studio, explained his approach. \u201cThe trophy is both unique in its shape and message, and it is functional.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The very first Z\u00fcrich Trophy will be awarded on Wednesday, 30 August 2023, and the first recipient will be the winner of the women\u2019s pole vault competition at Zurich Main Station. On 31 August, the cup will take centre stage during the closing show at Letzigrund Stadium: 14 winners will receive the precious award and will no doubt be raising it, triumphantly, into the Zurich night sky.<\/p>\n<p>The Z\u00fcrich Trophy will be awarded to winners at Weltklasse Z\u00fcrich in 2023, 2024, and 2026. In 2025 and 2027, athletes will receive the Wanda Diamond League Trophy that is traditionally awarded at the finals of the most prestigious international meeting series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weltklasse Z\u00fcrich always stays true to the Weltklasse part of its name.
