The innovative Fribourg Track Lab meeting, supported by European Athletics, takes place on Sunday 1 September featuring dozens of international stars competing across events with groundbreaking additions.
Taking place at Saint Léonard University Stadium, Fribourg, Switzerland, it deploys a format of six teams competing across eight disciplines.
Olympic and world stars
Competitors include European pole vault gold medallist Angelica Moser (Switzerland), twice European indoor 60m hurdles gold medallist Nadine Visser (Netherlands), former European 100m hurdles champion Pia Skrzyszowska (Poland) and twice world javelin champion Anderson Peters (Grenada).
Innovations include the elimination of established reaction time threshold (0.100) for false starts, new technology to measure actual heights and distances for the pole vault and long jump to measure true jump performance and the staging of a mile steeplechase.
The competition will take place on a CONIPUR VMax Track, designed by European Athletics partner and preferred supplier CONICA. The weekend gets underway with the Draw Night Ceremony on Saturday (31 August). Tickets are still available and the meeting will be streamed via YouTube from 16:00 CET on Saturday 1 September.
