The field is taking shape: top Swiss athletics stars confirm for Lucerne
The lineup for Spitzen Leichtathletik Luzern is gaining momentum. Once again, the organizing committee can count on a strong showing from Switzerland’s top athletics stars. Nearly all of Swiss Athletics’ elite athletes have confirmed their participation.
Alongside Jason Joseph (110m hurdles) and Dominic Lobalu (1500m), recent confirmations include Angelica Moser (pole vault), Annik Kälin (long jump), and William Reais (200m). Angelica Moser, the European Champion and bronze medalist at the Indoor World Championships in March, promises to deliver excitement in the pole vault. Annik Kälin also impressed at the Indoor World Championships, winning silver in the long jump. William Reais, currently one of Switzerland’s fastest sprinters, will also be on the start line.
With the World Championships in Tokyo just two months away, the meet offers athletes a valuable chance to fine-tune their form or hold peak performance.
The javelin event, a tradition in Lucerne, will be especially noteworthy this year. Competing will be Haruka Kitaguchi of Japan — the reigning Olympic champion from Paris 2024 and world champion from 2023.
