Can Audrey Werro Deliver A Home Victory? Few athletes enter Lausanne with more momentum than Audrey Werro. The Swiss star has become one of the world's elite 800m runners, and she'll have a chance to earn the biggest win of her career in front of a home crowd. She has the best career mark of any competitor in the 800m, but with a mix of top 10-ranked runners beside her, she’ll have to be at her best to deliver a win at home. Mondo Duplantis Headlines The City Event Before the stadium action begins on August 21, Lausanne stages its unique city-center pole vault competition. Mondo Duplantis returns looking for another spectacular performance, but he'll face a strong field, including Emmanouil Karalis, Kurtis Marschall, Sam Kendricks and Renaud Lavillenie. With Duplantis regularly pushing the world record higher, every appearance becomes must-watch television. Diamond League Final Spots On The Line As the Diamond League season comes to a close, Lausanne represents a pivotal opportunity to earn valuable series points. With only a handful of meets remaining before the Diamond League Final in Brussels, every event carries importance for athletes trying to qualify or improve their seeding. Elite Fields In Sprints Throughout The Meet The meet features elite fields in both men's and women's 200m races alongside the women's 100m hurdles and men's 400m hurdles. With many athletes sharpening their form ahead of the championship season, Lausanne offers another opportunity for world-leading performances on one of Europe's fastest tracks. Field Events Could Produce Record Marks Beyond the pole vaults, Lausanne boasts strong competitions in the men's long jump, triple jump and javelin, as well as the women's javelin. Historically, Athletissima has produced some of the season's best field-event performances, and the combination of elite talent and favorable conditions makes another series of big marks a possibility.
