Les principaux résultats
Saut à la perche dames : Nina Kennedy (AUS) récente championne du monde, s'impose avec 4.91m, MPM 2023, lors d'un concours disputé mercredi soir.
"I am really surprised! And I am soo happy. The crowd, the music, the runway - Zurich is really great. You relax, you enjoy the atmosphere and the crowd. This is all my dreams come true. I love Zurich.
I wanted to put on a good show tonight and I guess Katie and me did this! The energy from the crowd helped me so much, the runway was so fast. I just wanted to have fun toda. I was thinking that maybe 4.80 were possible or 4.85 - but 4.91!!
Katie pushed me to this height. I won here last year and now this year. The bar was in line with the windows, so visually that was a challenge. But you have to embrace that. Now I will fly home to Australia before travelling to Eugene where I hope to win the final."
Triple saut dames : La star de la discipline Yulimar Rojas (VEN) remporte la mise avec un bon à 15.15m.
Saut en hauteur hommes : Battu aux mondiaux, Mutaz Essa Barshim (QAT) prend une belle revanche en passant 2.35m, suffisant pour l'emporter.
Saut à la perche hommes : Victoire attendue pour Mondo Duplantis avec 6m. Thibaut Collet confirme en passant 5.85m, synonyme de 4e place.
110m haies : Grosse performance pour le local Jason Joseph (SUI) qui signe un record national en 13'08.
400m haies : Kyron McMaster (ILB), médaillé aux mondiaux, réussit l'exploit de battre la star Karsten Warholm, 47'27 contre 47'30. Wilfried Happio 5e en 48'30.
"It feels good to get this win after the World Championships last week. I executed and did what I had to do. It always feels like this [about the supportive and loud crowd] and there are more people here than on my island.
Next, I am going to Eugene, Oregon - the goal is only to focus, execute, and run my own race."
100m dames : La championne du monde Sha Carri Richardson gagne en 10'88.
3000m steeple dames : Winfred Mutile Yavi, en or à Budapest, s'impose encore une fois en 9'03"19.

5000m hommes : Yomilf Kejelcha (ETH) réussit une énorme course et vient chercher la victoire en 12'46"91
"My aim today was to break the meeting record. So, at some time when I saw the red line too much in front I knew that I had to accelerate more and head in front like crazy. I was very confident, I believed that I could keep this pace.
I came here to do show something well. I had wanted to show that in Budapest, too, but it did not work. During the race I felt the support of the crowd. It is always like that in Zurich and I like it a lot. I would like to thank the audience.
I do not think that I will celebrate tonight. I am happy about this victory but because of my Budapest result I feel not like celebrating."
100m haies dames : Danielle Williams (JAM), double championne du monde, gagne en 12'54.
200m hommes : La soirée se termine avec une belle victoire du triple médaillé d'or de Budapest, l'immense Noah Lyles, vainqueur en 12'80.
"It is just a race, it is business as usual. Everybody wants to beat me and everybody wants the cake and the crown, but I am not giving it to them. Today, we did not have perfect conditions, it was pretty cold. But a win is a win.
If I will run in Eugene: we will see, we still have to make a decision. Of course, a fast time is always wanted, but it has been a great season. And I guess winning three gold medals is better than getting the American record.
I am not going to lie, I am pretty tired. It was only a short time after the World Championships. Today, I definitely had fun. Walking down the backstraight, we heard the crowd. I enjoyed the people cheering so much. So, I really want to come back. Such a full house is always great."
Ce meeting de Zurich, d'un excellent niveau, comme chaque année, n'a toutefois enregistré aucune performance exceptionnelle, hormis le 400m haies et le 5000m avec McMaster et Kejelcha.
Après des mondiaux usants, les athlètes manquaient logiquement de jus.
