Competing athletes will vie for crucial world ranking points necessary for qualification in the Olympic Games in Paris. This will take place on the largest mobile athletics facility globally certified by World Athletics, known as "The FlySwat". 

Once again, the revered event in Innsbruck will be celebrated as part of the World Athletics Continental Tour Challenger. It will also serve as the focal point of the city's athletics scene, acting as the longstanding "home base" for the Golden Fly Series. 

Following the debut of the interactive long jump laser line "PrimeLine" in 2015 and the introduction of the "Wall Jump" in pole vault in 2022 and 2023, another remarkable pole vault innovation is set to make its world premiere at the 20th anniversary event.

Among the field of elite athletes are two American pole vaulters: Austin Miller (USA), currently ranked number seven in the world, and Clayton Fritsch (USA), the reigning champion from last year. In the women's event, Amalie Svabikova (Czechia), a finalist at the Indoor World Championships 2024, emerges as the favorite.

In the men’s long jump, competitors Cheswill Johnson (South Africa) and Lester Lescay Gay (Cuba) will vie for victory. The German Paralympic Champion and world record holder, Markus Rehm, aims to set new distance records in the men's long jump. Finally, Austria’s Ingeborg Grunwald and Natalia Linares (Colombia) will engage in a competitive showdown in the women's long jump.

Fans will get the opportunity to live stream the event for free from 18:30 (CEST) until 22:30 (CEST). You can access the event here.
