Greg Rutherford och Michel Tornéus ready for Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics on 30 July

It was in Prague, on a golden Friday in March this year when Michel Tornéus reached a milestone in his already successful long jump career with his victory at the European Indoor Championships. Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics is now proud to announce that Michel will compete at the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Stockholm Olympic Stadium on 30 July.

– I’m really looking forward to Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics, which I see as one of the outdoor season’s absolute high points. Both the Diamond League meeting and Stockholm Stadium are close to my heart and I’m aiming to provide the public with an especially big jump. The competition will take place just a few weeks before the World Championships and will serve as an important stop on my journey towards that Championship medal.

On 30 July the long jump field at Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics will also feature Greg Rutherford, current Olympic and European gold medallist as well as Sweden’s surprise European Indoor bronze medallist, Andreas Otterling. Over the years the British star has received a good deal of assistance from Michel’s coach, Oscar Gidewall. Tornéus and Rutherford have faced each other on many occasions, including the Olympic final when Michel finished fourth.

Today we are launching a new website http://stockholmbauhausathletics.se which will feature news of the activities around one of the world’s most prestigious athletics meetings as well as the other five events which are part of Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics. On this site you can read more about our star athletes.  The website complements this website.

Our traditional activities, organised mainly in Kungsträdgården in central Stockholm, to attract children and young people to the sport of athletes will be expanded this year to include a two day event and also a tour of the Stockholm region – Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics Kids Tour. In cooperation with the City of Stockholm we are giving young people, in the city and surrounding area, the opportunity to try out athletics.  One goal is to increase recruitment from the suburbs.  On our new website you can find a timetable for this project and reports from each stage of the tour. You can also read about the other activities around Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics, such as Diamond 1000 and our popular annual young people’s event, Stockholm BAUHAUS Athletics Youth.
 
Jan Kowalski, Chairman of Stadionklubbarna, the clubs which organise the meeting, said:
– I am extremely proud to be able to present our tour to encourage children and young people in Stockholm to be physically more active and to try out athletes. In an effort to constantly develop our product, we are launching an additional website about our inspiring stars and all the activities which take place around the competition.
