Lausanne: Stellar Fields In The Triple Jump And 400m Hurdles
The current world and Olympic champion in the triple jump, Christian Taylor, has confirmed his presence at Athletissima on 6 July. With the 18.11m jumped in Eugene, the American has already proven that he is in very good shape and that if someone is to beat Jonathan Edward’s world record of 18.29m someday, that is him. Being the only athlete to have jumped beyond 18m four times, he is naturally thinking of this target more and more. “I want this world record more than anything; what would really help me is strong competitors”. He will face great competition in Lausanne as his fellow countryman Will Clay, Olympic silver medallist and second in Oregon (18.05m, with too much tailwind unfortunately), will be in Lausanne as well. Taylor seems to like the Lausanne track, since he won the event in 2015 by establishing a new stadium record of 18.06m. Another great competitor confirmed is Cuban vice-world champion Pedro Pablo Pichardo.

Oslo: Local Star Warholm To Tackle Clement and Bett
One of the sensations for Norwegian athletics in 2016 was the exciting development of Karsten Warholm. He started the season as a decathlete that dabbled in 400m and 400m hurdles. By the end of 2016, the twenty-one-year-old from Ulsteinvik had established himself as a major global threat at the 400m hurdles. Last season he broke the Norwegian record for 400m hurdles on numerous occasions. He achieved it at the European Championships in Amsterdam with a time of 48.84! Then he stepped up again at the Rio Olympics Games with another national record of 48.49 seconds and his only disappointment was to not earn a place in that final.
