I was at this meet 7 years ago, and it's a great place to jump... fast runway, seating for about 5000, and every seat was taken! Talk about loud!

A word of advice though... do not watch yourself on the big screen as you are running down the runway! Okay, maybe that was just my rookie mistake... it was my first big international event. :o

They screen at Olympic Stadium was quite big. The screen in Zurich next to the pit. I think these guys will do just fine :)
