Magyar: Zürich stars are healthy and well rested

The audience in the sold-out Letzigrund Stadium can expect a unique post-championship showdown at Weltklasse Zürich on Friday. Four world record holders, 16 newly-crowned world champions and 14 2008 Olympic champions, as well as many medal winners will be lining up in the meeting's programme of 16 events.

Meeting Director Patrick K. Magyar looks forward to the 2009 edition of Weltklasse Zürich: „Our stars are healthy and well rested. And we are hoping for good weather. Everything is ready for an outstanding night of athletics."

Five days after the world championships, not only 16 world champions and eight additional relay champions, will compete in the Letzigrund Stadium: "In addition, to the Berlin champions, many top athletes have travelled to Zurich, who would like to make amends after the championships. The clashes of champions and challengers represent a promise for many exciting competitions at the highest level."
