The Swiss indoor heptathlon champion, in Götzis, sets the “world record” of the specialty in a multiple-event competition and the best world measurement in 2026. Pernici, Fabbri, Dosso, Coiro and Folorunso start in the Rabat stage of the Diamond League
The Swiss Simon Ehammer, indoor world champion in the heptathlon, in the traditional decathlon in Götzis, Austria, sends a clear message to Mattia Furlani: he flies at 8.51/ +1.0 in the long run, a “world record” in a race of multiple events, best seasonal world measurement (after the Greek Miltiadis Tentoglou on Friday evening in Limassol, Cyprus, achieved 8.49) and record Swiss. His, with 4762 points, is the partial leadership. Sveva Gerevini, with 3716, is 11th in the heptathlon: 13″52/100 hs, 1.74/high, 13.48/weight (personal) and 23″72/200.
