zurich’s Letzigrund stadium is set to host the second part of the Diamond League final this Thursday, starting at 6:30 p.m. and broadcast live on RTS2. A strong Swiss contingent – at least nine athletes, including five women – will be competing, hoping to captivate the home crowd.
Werro Eyes Upset in 800m
All eyes will be on Audrey Werro in the 800m race. The Fribourg native arrives in peak form,having recently achieved the second-fastest time of the year for a swiss athlete,clocking in at 1 minute and 56.29 seconds at a meet in Frauenfeld on Sunday, August 25, 2024. Werro will benefit from the absence of Keely Hodgkinson, who previously defeated her at the Athletissima meet in Lausanne. This presents a significant prospect for Werro to contend for a podium finish and potentially achieve a career-best result.
Kambundji, Joseph, and Kaelin Seek Medals
Beyond Werro, Swiss hopes rest on the shoulders of Ditaji Kambundji in the 100m hurdles and Jason joseph in a yet-to-be-specified event. Both athletes are targeting a place on the podium. Annik Kaelin will also be competing, aiming to replicate her success in distance events.

The Letzigrund event provides a crucial platform for thes athletes to showcase their talent on an international stage and build momentum heading into the 2025 World Athletics Championships.
