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 for this moment of pure magic. We were state of the art.
MERCI BEAUCOUP❣️
Thank you very much for delivering the best of yourself in one day.
It was a fireworks display of rare beauty made up of performances and emotions, of joy, from the first competition (meeting record in the women's hammer throw) until the last competition with this incredible PB in the B-series of the women's 800m thanks to an improvement of almost 4.8 seconds for Joceline Wind. It doesn't make sense, except for the magic of ATLETICAGENEVE!

As usual, you can still have a free entry, all around the track. The committee wants everyone to be able to admire these competitions and the athletes.

The development of this event must cope with the significant increase in transport costs and, in general, other costs.

Happy Valentine’s Day !
Every year, Valentine's Day is celebrated with incredible zeal, excitement and love around the world. And why not!
This day reminds us to cherish and celebrate the most beautiful emotion we experience: LOVE ❣️
Without wanting to spoil anything on this magnificent day, although too commercial, let's face it, we cannot ignore the tragedies that the world is going through at the moment 🖤.
Still.
But it is by celebrating love, this marvelous and deep feeling, that we can all better live together, understand, share, laugh, admire, help, joke, support. It brings energy, happyness, success 🏆 and much more, if you see what I mean, dear Cupid, Eros, Juliette, Romeo, euhh ... whoever you are !!
May this Valentine's Day spread all around us the emotion of life and inspire only positive feelings.
And in the midst of competition that we are, let's allow ourselves a moment.
🫶
And as far as we are concerned, we remind you that ATLETICAGENEVE will be on Saturday 10 June.
For those who really love athletics, please note that the next day, Sunday, there is still the possibility to compete in another new EAP meeting in Annecy (France), half an hour from Geneva. Prepare this memorable weekend 🚀🧨 !
Gorgeous, isn't-it ?
if that's not love ❤️❤️❤️ …

The 34th edition will be held on June 11, in exactly 4 weeks!
We are in the middle of discussions with many athletes and managers who ask us questions. If you haven't heard from us yet, be indulgent, you will all be contacted with a response. We have fallen a little behind the announced response time, thank you for your patience.
The many relay teams will be honored and will ignite the entry meeting!
It is always an exciting exercise to build a meeting of this level, the main objective of which is to offer athletes the best possible conditions to achieve the performance for which they have worked, suffered and had to question themselves so many once to finally give the best of themselves, once behind the starting line. Here in Geneva.
The other day I read an article which reminded us that only the 15 best athletes in the world, by discipline, can live from their sports activity. Do you realize what level of excellence is required to hope to earn a living?
And how fragile is this over time. How long does a career last, when all is well?
We are preparing this meeting as well as possible, to pay tribute to these athletes who, we feel, have a lot of expectations. Even if we cannot accept all the current requests, it is this energy that motivates us again and again, year after year, to welcome 500 athletes from 70 countries so that everyone can have his share of dreams, his own fireworks, a unique moment, a memory for life.

Even if in some disciplines we are currently almost complete, you're still in time to request your participation but, not later than May 30th 2022: Registrations

ONE MONTH TO GO
Dear friend,
It's only been two weeks since we opened registrations and it had the effect of releasing bulls in the arena..! But we are not in Pampelone, we are in Geneva and are still trying to catch our breath.
Incredible, in less than ten hours we had already received 120 requests to participate. An unprecedented enthusiasm that put us in difficulty and even now we are processing the some 500 registration requests.
The announced response time of 3-4 days, this time we couldn't hold it, but we almost caught up. We apologize. A little more patience, everyone will have an answer.
In the 4x100m relays, we have 16 teams announced, for both women and men!
This has the effect of monopolizing the available lanes in the men's and women's 100m and the men's 200m. It's a promise we made to the national teams.
In other words, sprinters who are not part of a national relay team will have very little chance of being accepted.
This is also one of the reasons why certain answers have not yet been given because we are waiting for the compositions of the teams of the countries announced before being able to decide.
We work with a tailor-made, very complete, collaborative and efficient meeting management program (code name: wondermeeting-PS22). We would like to thank the developer Mr Paolo Sioli for this little wonder tool (if you are interested, please write to wondermeeting@atleticageneve.ch).
Registrations remain open until May 30, there are still spots and lanes here and there. Please pre-register via our registration form.
The provisional program wil be updted in the next days, Some changes will be done and finally the meeting will start with the 4x100m relays as in previous years.
For those who do not participate in the competitions but wish to obtain accreditation (media, coach, manager, delegate, VIP, Sponsors, anti-doping, etc.) please open the athlete's registration form and click at the very beginning on " (...) Then please register here to receive your accreditation!". You will also find more information on our Media Corner page: or by writing to us at accreditation@atleticageneve.ch.
A big meeting is getting ready, join the party and support too because we particularly need it: the events that have affected the world for two years have direct consequences on our budget by jeopardizing the existence of this beautiful meeting.
Become a supporting member, why not you, dear friend, or discover the various and attractive ways to sponsor us!
We thank HAGER Switzerland (solutions for electrical installation) as new Javelin Throw sponsor !
Volunteers ? registrations to officiate as volunteers are available on our management platform, by clicking here. We are always looking to complement our staff on and off the field.
Thank you all!

♥ HAPPY EASTER ♥
Dear friend,
We just have time to look for the Easter eggs,... to swallow and digest them (...), and then we attack with the 34th edition of ATLETICAGENEVE!
Are you ready ?
We receive a lot of requests every day but as of April 25, as announced, online registrations will be officially open.
Until then, let's take advantage of this holiday season to wish you a Happy Easter!
Due to the pandemic and the war, some sponsors have preferred not to support us this year. I allow myself to launch a new appeal for sponsorship or for support or a donation as a supporting member. The fragility of our budget endangers our event.
Thank you very much !
We are not all lucky enough to live in a country at peace. My thoughts go out at this time to those who are going through difficult, dramatic and sometimes tragic times. The hope is that we will find dialogue between peoples.

MARCH 8, 2022
Dear friend,
On this particular day, but remembering that every moment of life must be exemplary through our behavior, our respect and our search for a better world, we would like to pay tribute to all the women who, through their courage, strength, self-sacrifice and sensitivity make this world a better place.
But it is also a day when humanity suffers.
All over the world we see injustices and, tragically, atrocities. Many women today do not have enough to eat, nothing to protect themselves... . Many women today suffer from humiliation and violence and at this very moment many women have to flee their country, in some cases leaving their husband or partner, trying to protect their child(ren). In the world, there is still so much to do.
This seems unthinkable and we must ask ourselves.
We have a very strong thought for all women.
TRIBUTE TO WOMEN!

Dear friend,
During this holiday season, we would like to thank you for everything ❤️ for your support or your interest in the Geneva International meeting.
This year, which ends in a few days, has been exceptional. ATLETICAGENEVE, is ranked 40th in the world (!) With a new points record (84'271) and a completely acquired international recognition. Our meeting contributes to the renown of Swiss meetings: 6 Swiss meetings among the 100 best in the world, sorry, among the 41 best in the world! It's unique!
So let's celebrate this year's success together and look to the future!
Here are some indiscretions that we would like to associate you with and which will be part of a future communication from us:
- Support dinner (probably in February 2022), with a co-speaker and sports personalities of excellence
- The probability that the meeting (June 11, 2022) will be broadcast live (90 ') by Swiss television
ATLETICAGENEVE 2021 was 69 countries, 62 personal bests (PB), 10 national records, 1 best global performance of the year, and much more. More details here.

Dear friend,
We cannot begin without mentioning the uncertainties and difficulties which, like all of you, have characterized, and still affect, everyday life. We hope you and your loved ones are in good health.
Here we are: in 5 weeks the athletes will hit the track!
A year behind the scenes: preparatory work in committee (by videoconference), contacts to renew or establish with numerous service providers, discussions with the Sports Department of the City of Geneva, the Sports Fund (Fonds du Sport) of the Canton of Genève, the search for sponsors, the development of the volunteer platform, the new meeting management platform (SELTEC), the development of a new comprehensive meeting management tool, relations with Swiss-Athletics, European Athletics and World Athletics, as well as with the European Athletics Promotion circuit and adherence to its Code of Conduct and to the "I Run Clean" program of which we are certified, not to mention the implementation of TV Streaming, the deployment of the new identity through all our communication (web, social networks, and all media) as well as ... all the Covid procedures and the protection plan that we had to establish, confirms that the organization is a constant work and complex over a whole year. Exciting too.

Dear friend,
Here we go with the 33rd edition of ATLETICAGENEVE.
We hope this message finds you in good health and we take this opportunity to wish you a happy New Year!
If you receive this message it is because you are part of the history of this extraordinary meeting.
Maybe you were one of those people who were there from the start of this adventure, or even before. Or you have participated several times as an athlete. Some have achieved exceptional performances, sometimes recorded forever in their absolute PBs. Others were able to qualify for European, World championships or Olympic Games . National and even continental records were established on the Bout-du-Monde track. Some athletes have shown their loyalty by participating 5, 6, 7 and even 10 or 11 times! Long and successful careers have been followed through ATLETICAGENEVE.
Each of these 33 editions tells great stories.
Today, ATLETICAGENEVE is an association which organises the international meeting:ATLETICAGENEVE has a new modernized logo and a new website that we invite you to discover.
The performance of the meeting, and its international reputation, first earned it the status of "Classic Permit" within the European Association and then also integration into the series of the World Continental Tour, Bronze Permit, from World Athletics (formerly IAAF).
For half a dozen years, ATLETICAGENEVE has been regularly in the top 50 of the best meetings in the world (including a 32nd place as the best ranking).
This fair recognition, de facto, also implies certain requirements which result in a larger budget. The association that we are wishes to perpetuate this meeting by creating a group of supporting members of which you would be part, thanks to your special attachment to ATLETICAGENEVE.
A page of our site is dedicated to supporter members. Thank you for visiting it and, if you think that you can support the meeting in this year 2021, with a donation of 50.-, 100.-, 200.- CHF or an amount of your choice, we would be very grateful to you !

Of course, you can also become a sponsor or donor if you wish to associate your name (or even by remaining anonymous) or that of your company with that of the meeting. A page dedicated to sponsors with a detailed dossier of the sponsorship concept is available here.
