October: the hyperactive month for ATLETICAGENEVE !

Oct 22, 2023

October: the hyperactive month for ATLETICAGENEVE ! Autumn is the time when everything comes together to prepare for the following year. And the following year is nothing other than a year of European championships and Olympic Games! The quirks of the calendar, as a result of the upheavals due to covid, have placed the European Championships on our traditional date, causing us to slip to June 22. This month of October, after the business meeting with our accommodation’s partner Nash Airport, as a member of 3 European bodies (European Athletics, EuroMeetings and European Athletics Promotion), we participated in the European Athletics convention in several workshops. Interesting to find ourselves in the middle of business and to be able to give our contribution, experience (much appreciated) and our points of view. We talk about modernisation, about how we can make our sport more…

Nash Hotels & ATLETICAGENEVE preparing the Olympics !

Oct 18, 2023

Nash Hotels & ATLETICAGENEVE preparing the Olympics ! Geneva, October 18, 2023 It is with mutual satisfaction that we reviewed the different aspects of welcoming athletes, managers and members of federations during the 35th edition of ATLETICAGENEVE, last June 11, 2023. The identification of several details discussed during the 2022 session were integrated into the athlete registration process and this facilitated their management upon their arrival. Because every little detail that makes the flow of athletes easier, faster and more fluid is essential for the success of the event. Imagine that in just a few hours, the reception desk has to deal with more than 300 athletes (in addition to their usual customers).. We have managed, with several upstream technological improvements (acquisition of data from each athlete, with respect of the GDPR regulation), to save 1 – 2 minutes per…

June 17, 2023 WE DID IT ! 💪 You can plan everything down to the smallest detail, but you never know what might happen in the end. But this time again we got there. All the conditions were met for this 35th edition to be a success. Such a high density of high-level athletes never seen on the Bout-du-Monde track. 82 countries represented and in sight the world championships of Budapest (and not only), produced the expected effect: excellent competitions in optimal conditions to lead to 8 meeting records (unheard of either!) and 8 national records. What a pleasure to see athletes satisfied and wanting to share their joy and express their sincere gratitude to the organizers…

Myth, legend or reality?

May 7, 2023

Myth, legend or reality? How many athletes have achieved extraordinary performances, the personal best, their qualification for the Olympic Games or, like this year, world championships? There are several factors that mean that each year, we achieve exceptional results and that we have a very high retention rate. ATLETICAGENEVE opens the international season in Switzerland. It is an unmissable event not only for the best Swiss athletes but also the British (often the 2nd most represented nation), the French (the 3rd), the Italians, Dutch, Belgians, Irish, Germans, … etc 65 countries are represented for a total of 550 athletes!

5 weeks to go

May 6, 2023

35th edition of ATLETICAGENEVE, memorial Georges Caillat The Geneva International meeting is now anchored in the tradition and corresponds to the official launch of the Swiss international season. And the word international is not in vain: ATLETICAGENEVE regularly attracts more than 60 nations (65 in 2022) for the 550 athletes from 5 continents. Bronze, the meeting knew how to evolve with modern athletics and keep intact its attractiveness and even develop it! Despite its extremely modest (not to say fragile) budget, the meeting continues on its way thanks to the help of the work of passionate volunteers who receive no salary or compensation of any kind. Geneva meeting is very attractive because of various key points. Of course the warm welcome from the whole organizing committee who make this meeting friendly and accessible. But also for other practical reasons. Geneva has a…

ATLETICAGENEVE top athletes, attract the young talents to the Visana-Sprint

May 3, 2023

As usual, ATLETICAGENEVE creates emulation and motivation by organizing 100m and 800m races in the middle of a meeting for a selection of the best young Geneva talents aged 16 and 17 (U18). These races are a great motivation for these athletes who, like Timothé Mumenthaler, winner of the U16s’s 100m in 2019, now belong to the Swiss elite.It is therefore with the same motivation and the same enthusiasm that, on the initiative of Michèle Garlinski, we launched the idea of a Geneva final in the city centre. Thanks to Visana and the total adherence to this initiative of the Geneva Athletics Association (AGA) and the essential support of the Sports Department of the City of Geneva, the “VISANA-SPRINT” will be organized on Wednesday May 7, before the Mur des Réformateurs! Magnificent project which materializes by having polarized the skills and…
