The Athletics Association and the Jerusalem Municipality are pleased to announce that Toto Winner will be the main sponsor of the Jerusalem Grand Slam, which will be named: Jerusalem Winner Grand Slam. The prestigious international competition (Silver level) will take place on May 19th, featuring approximately 100 athletes from about 25 countries and around 50 Israeli athletes.
The competition will take place about two weeks before the European Championships in Rome and about two months before the Olympic Games in Paris. Therefore, it will serve as an important milestone on the way there and will be significant in setting the criteria for these two major competitions.
Jack Cohen, Director of the International Department at the Athletics Association: “I thank Toto Winner for their support of the Jerusalem Winner Grand Slam and the continued cooperation with the Athletics Association. I look forward to more such significant collaborations.”
Itzik Lari, CEO of the Jerusalem Municipality: “Jerusalem is prepared to host the Jerusalem Winner Grand Slam, another international competition to be held in the capital. Especially at this time, we are excited to host this prestigious competition at the National Stadium in Givat Ram, which has already registered about 100 international athletes from approximately 25 different countries. The ‘Jerusalem Winner Grand Slam’ will serve as another anchor and central point that will strengthen Jerusalem’s status as the sports capital of Israel.”
Shabtai Tzur, Chairman of Toto: “We are proud to be the main sponsors of the Jerusalem Winner Grand Slam, the first prestigious international athletics competition to be held in Israel since the outbreak of the war. This is an important competition that will gather international interest in light of the fact that it is held before the Paris Olympics. I invite the Israeli public to come and support our athletes.”
Meir Bardugo, CEO of Toto: “Toto sees great importance and a mission in bringing prestigious international competitions to Israel, especially at this time. This is important not only for our national resilience as a country, but also an opportunity to showcase our Israeli athletes, who are our best ambassadors in the world.”
