Athletissima is an annual athletics meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland. Previously one of the five IAAF Super Grand Prix events, it is now part of the Diamond League.

The first edition was held on 8 July 1977 in the Stade Pierre de Coubertin.[2] In 1986 the event was moved to the Stade olympique de la Pontaise.[2]

The UBS has been the main sponsor of Athletissima Lausanne since 1982.[3] Other sponsors are Vaudoise Assurances, Omega, Erdgas and Nike.[4]

History

[edit]

Prior to Athletissima, international athletics meetings were also held in Lausanne on July 6, 1947,[5] and July 13, 1957.[6] The latter was also known as "American Meeting",[7] similar to precursors of the Weltklasse Zürich.
