14 years ago, the South Tyrol selection even won the Arge Alp Meeting, and in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022 they were always on the podium. Last year, the local athletes also achieved a good result at the home meeting in Brixen, finishing fourth. The South Tyrol selection celebrated three daily victories.

This weekend, Aichach (Germany) is the venue for this year's Arge Alp Meeting. In addition to the South Tyrol selection, the teams from Trentino, host Bavaria, Salzburg, Tyrol, Vorarlberg, Ticino and Graubünden will also set up camp in Aichach. The meeting begins on Saturday at 13:30 p.m. with the men's long jump and the women's shot put. The official opening ceremony will take place at 13:15 p.m. The Arge Alp Meeting also indirectly concludes the athletics track season.

Many top South Tyrolean athletes at the start

South Tyrol will compete with a mix of experienced and many young athletes. Pole vaulter Nathalie Kofler from Lana, who recently set a new national record of 4.25 m, will be there. Her two SVL teammates, the all-rounder Linda Maria Pircher from Burgstall and Simon Zandarco from Gargazon, will also have a say in the medal ceremony.

Ira Harrasser from SSV Bruneck will compete in the 100 and 200 m, and Stephanie Schöpf from Lanan will also be in the running. There are also hopes for Alberto Masera from Bozen. The 35-strong national team is made up of 17 women and 18 men.
