About Athletissima

Athletissima, now a flagship of the Lausanne summer season, was first held on July 8th 1977 at the Stade Pierre-de-Coubertin under the impetus of Jacky Delapierre, a former 800m runner. Over the years, it has become a renowned international meeting, attracting the biggest stars in athletics to the Olympic capital. Now based at the Pontaise Olympic Stadium, Athletissima has been part of the Wanda Diamond League circuit since 2010, making it one of the most prestigious athletics meetings in the world.
