According to the IAAF web site, this is NOT an IAAF Grand Prix meet.

[gh]

Nor is the Ponce GP in Puerto Rico..... "Grand Prix" doesn't confirm any GP status on any event in and of itself.

Who cares if it's an IAAF meet or not, some of the start-lists are first-class. The men's triple jump is loaded. Vili v. Mikhnevich in the shot looks exciting too.

Women's LJ is pretty deep too... 5 women from OG final

Exactly.

You are with respect incorrect.,Tanfman,

The World Athletics Tour page on the IAAF web site states that the meeting this weekend called the Grand Premio blah blah in Belem is indeed a Grand Prix event and will count therefore for points. Unfortunately the website is incorrect with its date of 24th May.

Also the Ponce meet upcoming is not shown as a meet on the IAAF Grand Prix Schedule of meets. The Track and Field News chronological list of meets is also incorrect , referring to the Ponce meet this weekend which may be right,, but it makes no reference to the Brazilian meet GP in Belem.

Rio and Belem are two different places.

[The Captain]

Rio 17th, Uberlandia 20th (both area permit)
Belem 24th IAAF GP

[Smoke]

Rio 17th
Uberlandia 20th
Belem 24th

Rio and Uber are Area Permit meets, Go to the top of the IAAF window and click on Area permit meets.

But apparently you didn't read the Captain's post just above yours - he already provided the same info before you did.

Vili 20.69m!

Vili 20.69m!

Well this is another year where she has increased her PR
(11 consecutive years now?).

Nice double win for Michael Rogers: 10.08 / 20.34

That's apparently true, and it's absolutely amazing. Can anyone think of any other athlete who's done that in any event? Off the top of my head, I can't.
