“Geneva, city of sport”: The City of Geneva and its Sports Department, are keen to offer a most captivating athletics spectacle, wanting to bring it to the City Centre and choosing for this its most majestic and emblematic setting possible: the Jet d'eau!
Among the athletes are many Paris Olympians and National Champions.
The competition also aims to be inclusive. This is why the world-class Paralympic athlete Fleur JONG (NED) (World Record Paralympics, Paralympic World Champion 2023 and 2024) is also present in the long jump competition in Geneva!
It is a mobile structure (the Flyswat) and an original concept which sums up the idea of the Golden Fly. Since its creation in 2013, Armin Margreiter has always wanted to make this competition known to the general public and thus wanted it in emblematic, sometimes unique city centers.
