Joshua Hartmann, the fastest man in Germany over 200 meters, will face first-class international competition at the Sparkassen Indoor Meeting in Dortmund on 18 January 2025. The 25-year-old will compete in the 60 meters at the Helmut-Körnig-Halle.
Following the top signing of Olympic shot put champion Yemisi Ogunleye, the Sparkassen Indoor Meeting in Dortmund can announce the next big name: Mikaelle Assani, a real shooting star of German athletics, is coming to the venue. The 22-year-old long jumper, who competes for SCL Heel Baden-Baden, impressively proved in the 2024 season that she is one of the best athletes in Europe and is well on her way to becoming one of the world's best.
The wait is over: Germany's Olympic shot put champion Yemisi Ogunleye (MTG Mannheim) is the first top athlete to sign up for the Sparkassen Indoor Meeting, which will take place on January 18, 2025 in Dortmund's Helmut-Körnig-Halle. The exceptional athlete, who made history with her Olympic victory in Paris (France), leads the international field of participants.
Shortly after the end of the Olympic Games in Paris (France), LG Olympia Dortmund, as the organizer of the Sparkassen Indoor Meeting, wants to use the momentum of the enthusiasm and has already started ticket sales for next year. The eighth edition of the Dortmund athletics meeting will take place on Saturday, January 18, 2025 in the Helmut-Körnig-Halle and is once again part of the internationally renowned World Indoor Tour of the World Association.
2550 spectators watched the Sparkassen Indoor Meeting of the LG Olympia Dortmund in the Helmut-Körnig-Halle on Saturday and saw five world lead performances. In addition, three new meeting records were set. And in the women's long jump, Olympic champion Malaika Mihambo (LG Kurpfalz) made her much-noticed comeback.
